About four years ago I made a two disc alt.country-folk compilation, for friends, entitled “Downer Country.” If I ever find a copy of it I might post it on the Drunkard for posterity.
Anyway, one one of the cornerstone tracks off the comp was Patty Griffin’s sparse, haunting cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Stolen Car.” If at all curious, don’t hesitate to check this out. It’s the essence of an excellent “cover.”
