about

I'm not the biggest Talking Heads fan ever, but this song, in particular, is one of my favorites of all time. I can't explain why; I just know I love it. That's why this is the only track on this album that I re-recorded for the album release. The version I recorded during the project just didn't turn out the way I wanted, and since I've been wanting to cover and record this song for years, I figured it was worth spending a little extra time to do it right.

This is part of my MayCovers project: in May of 2016, I recorded and shared a cover song every day for a month, resulting in the release of 28 covers and two originals. This album features 12 of the best recordings from that experiment.

Standing Stones is one of the best albums I have ever listened to. Every song on it is excellent, and some are just some of the best songs I’ve heard. I can’t even pick a favorite song between Bones, Independence, Hope, Vespers... really all of them. Just listen to it. Thank you for releasing this incredible album. Kamani
