"Even the fourteen-year old knew, "Froggie Came A-Courtin'"
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing"

 

--what if it's a record of songs for Phoenix so she's left to know the songs that she sings 

PLEASE this would be so CUTE

tbh i just noticed there is a frog on Phoenix's baby blanket... like ik Lana isn't very easter eggy like that but hm, imagine she sings that on the album too

The cover is so cute. I love how much she's been incorporating her family into her releases this year, the music feels more personal than ever and it really feels like a special point in her career.

The letter that Lana got. The fan meant her unreleased album. Like her actual unreleased album.

 

Knowing Lana she most likely thought the fan wanted her unreleased “cover” album to be released . This will bomb harder than ChemTANK and Blue Tankisters put together . Zach Dawes is a good “additional” producer. He and that Eric dude CAN NOT solo produce a song. They sound BORING.

i know you don’t mean to be but you’re so funny sometimes

I thought it would be boring with all the family stuff when I heard Chemtrails BUT she’s SO personal and it’s so close to heart, I absolutely love how she includes her family and friends now.

I acc need mental help I'm already envisioning vinyl variants and what other songs could be on the tracklist lollll... Im not 100% sure what counts as a standard/classic but I'd love some Johnny Cash or Sinatra omggg. 

I can imagine Emmylou Harris fitting the vibe well too, something like together again 

 

which songs or artists would everyone else like to see on the album!?

Summertime Janis Version on there would eat... but idk if she would put it since she already has an official cover of the song out

Stand By Your Man

Blue Spanish Sky or any other Chris Isaak song. I would also like a Bruce Springsteen cover.

Emmylou Harris would be amazing ... I'd love a Simon and Garfunkel cover too, but I love folk music (and I know this would be an unpopular opinion)

EDIT: Maybe some Harry Nilsson too, for a nice little reference to DYKTTATUOB, same as John Denver

I’d love some more jazzy songs on there as well  

[Orville Peck 22,814]

When the album is titled Phoenix.
