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

[Sadaurora 444]

Just realised aretha franklin and rod stewart recorded such cover albums of american classics too, lengend things lol

[Trash Magic 26,799]

Reeeeeally excited for this and to see her picks. she can seldom be trusted with what she says  so I'm really hoping they aren't just dusty theatrical standards but instead her favourite songs from her favourite artists that she considers classics.

Toxic cover incoming then 

[GeminiLanaFan 45,787]

Knowing how she always changes her mind, I wouldn’t be surprised if she changed the whole AS&C concept, to include a broader range of songs. 
 

maybe she will drop the album digitally only this Christmas

she can be trusted actually  but yes i would love to see her cover her favourites 

[Super Movie 50,275]

Some other song ideas that I have in mind:

Hotel California by The Eagles

Smoke Rings by Les Paul and Mary Ford

Sentimental Journey by Doris Day

Blue Moon by Billie Holiday 

Dream A Little Dream of Me by The Mamas & The Papas 

End of the World by Skeeter Davis 

Some Velvet Morning by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood (maybe we could throw Barrie in on this one since they're on good terms)

Roadhouse Blues by The Doors

[Surf Noir 188,715]

if it's a cover album of her favorite songs which could be considered "classics" i could definitely see her doing a nirvana cover, i think something from "in utero" would suit her best (heart-shaped box, all apologies, serve the servants, dumb, etc.)

[Alison by Slowdive 26,016]

she needs to cover britney  surely early aughts is classic now lol

[Make me your Dream Life 83,138]

so she's workin on the covers album after all 

[Make me your Dream Life 83,138]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! 

[palemoonbaby 13,455]

She would slay in Hotel California and Wicked Game covers

Something from Nirvana would great too

[13beachess 7,509]

This woman... might be the illest motherfucker alive. In the BEST way possible! I can't believe SHE'S FEEDING US ALREADY! I CAN'T DEAL

I would DIE if she ever released a studio cover of this song. This is one of my favourite songs in general, and I absolutely love her cover of it that she did at the Roxy back in 2012. It's one of my favourite performances of hers, so I would kill for a full studio version x

now's our chance for a proper "knockin' on heaven's door" cover  

 

imagine if she covered "sweet child 'o mine" or "patience" by guns & roses  lizzy grant americana vibes

 

maybe "paranoid" by black sabbath?  

 

i love speculating & coming up with ideas of what she should cover

I was just listening to Lana's cover of it after she posted about the cover album on Twitter and all I could think was how incredible a studio version would be. It fits her voice so well
