Dolly Parton - "The Story" Cover

Any reader of this blog should know I love the music of Brandi Carlile. One of the most talented singer-songwriters in the world. 

A new album with artists like Pearl Jam, Old Crow Medicine Show, Adele, and the Avett Brothers covers the songs of Carlile's The Story album. Everything about this has me completely interested.

Here's Dolly Parton's cover of the title track, which is amazing.

Watch, and then listen to the rest of the album streaming free thanks to NPR.

• Also: You really need to check out Her Name Is Calla. Download The Quiet Lamb. I know I've been mentioning it like every week, but you need it every week. You are welcome. And go download for free Kernal Garner's new song, "Homicide." Love it.

I highly recommend Derek Webb's new album, Feedback. It "an instrumental electronic album based on the Lord's Prayer." I think you'll like it. It's creative & beautiful.

A discovery from the last couple of months has been Dark Dark Dark. I first heard of them via Daytrotter's free download from last month (also grab September 2009 & March 2009 sessions). Their newest album, Wild Go, is great. I'll soon be downloading all their stuff because of songs I've found from previous albums (Bright Bright Bright | The Snow Magic) like "Wild Goose Chase." Enjoy...
