I’ve just reviewed Lisa Hannigan‘s ecellent new labum, Passenger for Whisperin’ & Hollerin’ which you can read here.
Her cover of Nick Drake‘s Black-Eyed Dog isn’t on it but it shows what a great interpreter of songs she is. Her version, from a performance at the Barbican in London, manages to capture the bleak brilliance of the original whilst adding a spirited defiance to the depression that inspired it.
