"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

Recommended Posts

i think if lana is gonna throw in some more current covers then the name couldn’t be “american standards and classics” and obviously it’s a placeholder but.... will she? i don’t see a patsy cline song next to a weeknd song. i can however see an amy cover since amy’s sound was so jazzy

 

it’s hard to tell but since lana is so inspired by these older generation artists I think it’s fair to assume most covers will be from songs majority of us won’t recognize and i have no problem that 

And that’s why I said it was a wack idea. Those songs don’t belong on an album together

I can't wait for her to cover Adele, America's greatest living artist, who has produced both standards and classics. Wouldn't she sound positively bitching on Chasing Pavements.

I def am wanting more jazz tunes. I’m really thinking it will be older songs as in sixties and before. It’s just a vibe I get. I don’t see any modern covers being done honestly. I really found it kind of interesting how she referred to it as a classical album in one of her recent posts. I believe it was one of the posts about her dad so that really makes me think we are going older and more “classic” than a more open ended interpretation variety.

 
Edit. Nvm. Apparently her dad has a classical record he’s working on.  
 

Either way I’m here for the old songs. Please bring them on! 
 

I want this album to be as big as possible. Squeeze them all in!

Could you imagine a cover of Black Is The Color Of My True Love’s Hair? I feel like Lana’s voice would suit it so well.

Adele's great and simply amazing, but America's greatest living artist is Lana

It’s not *technically* American at its roots, but it’s been sung enough times it’s become a standard of American singers so I’m gonna throw out “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair”. The Nina Simone version is iconic and I’d love to hear a Lana version. 
 

(also a wiki search indicates MANY artists have included this song on their American folk song standards records so for all intents and purposes the version of the song we know is considered American)
