Sandro Perri :: Tiny Mirrors
Released last Fall, Sandro Perri’s LP, Tiny Mirrors, (amongst its other charms) boasts a lo-fi cover of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin.” No stranger to interpretation, Perri’s rendering inhibits a mournful and folksy late-night quality, subtly accompanied by light percussion, dual harmonies and multiple, interweaving, acoustic guitars. Next to Harry Nilsson’s (definitive) cover, this might be my favorite version yet. Highly recommended.
