Now me, I play for fortunes

 

For Free HAS to be on that damn album and definitely with the girls 

[American Whore 51,326]

i wonder if the album of covers came to fruition when she decided to put a cover on cocc? maybe she started thinking about other songs and wanting to cover them but couldn’t make up her mind so she said fuck it, i wanna put out a digital cover album?

Listening to Marianne Faithfull this morning, it would be so perfect if Lana covered Rich Kid Blues or It's All Over Now Baby Blue, her voice is so perfect for it! And it would match the Mid-Western/folk aesthetic of COCC.

[The Greatest 8,805]

Do you think this is pacific blue or a completely new name?

When the Beach Boys were working on Pet Sounds, their label needed an album out for the holidays, but Brian Wilson refused to rush his masterpiece, so they had to quickly put together something else. So they recorded an unplugged cover album, then brought some friends in to record talking and giggling and stuff to add to the tracks, took some pictures playing at the beach, and quickly put together “Beach Boys Party!” in time for the holidays. When Lana first mentioned the idea of “Pacific Blue”, I had brought up how I wished Lana would do something like what The Beach Boys did, but that she probably wouldn’t..... I just remembered that now and realized that now she’s doing exactly that...... freaky

[KingsMotelPart2 611]

I'm still waiting for Lana's cover for Time Of Season ...

I was super super skeptical, until she posted that video of her singing the hymn and mentioning being in the studio for the album! Now if it actually comes out December, that’s still to be known or not! I can’t see it being delayed though, because it’s not like she’s actually writing the music, just covering it!

[DCooper 36,915]

This album is definitely coming, she's already updated us since the announcement and proven that she's in the studio recording for it as promised.

I'm full-in on a covers album. And with her name dropping Patsy Cline ❤❤❤❤ I mean, I love so many of her songs, I wouldn't even know where to start; I Fall To Pieces, Walkin' After Midnight, She's Got You, Crazy, Back In Baby's Arms just to name a few. I'm hoping she covers Crazy or She's Got You, but Back In Baby's Arms is a rare gem of a track. I think it's a bit too fast for Lana, she would probably slow it down. Anyways, super excited for this album (assuming it actually happens)

[mrborntolose 9,967]

so is she going to be doing this cover album with dawes?

[Dark Angel 202,208]
