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

[AngelHeadedHipster]

 

 

OK but when will we get these kinda visuals from our lady Lana? Also Lana needs to cover this song 

 

[Elle]

This post from one of the backup singers on 'Summertime' allude to the possibility that the backup singers will make an appearance on more tracks for this record. However, though the lines "It’s been a great week working with the amazing @lanadelrey. More music to come." make it sound like she could be saying more music with Lana to come, she also could just be talking about just more music from herself x

This might be totally random and I don't think it's an american standard  but I can imagine Lana covering this song

 

She can totally do this and we need a more rockish Lana back 

[Vertimus]

'Cry Me A River,' 'Autumn Leaves,' and Moon River' have been covered to death, so I hope LDR doesn't include those. I admit that 'Summertime' has also been covered to death, and yet she pulled it off magnificently. 
 

I would much rather see her tackle less well-known standards like 'Laura,' 'Skylark,' 'The Shadow of Your Smile,' 'Love Is A Many-Slendored Thing,' 'How Deep Is The Ocean,' 'Last Night When We Were Young,' 'Once Upon A Time' and, perhaps from the folk era, 'The Green Leaves of Summer,' Tim Buckley's 'Song To A Siren' or the Kingston Trio's 'All My Sorrows.

What she includes of Patsy Cline I hope are not the overly-familiar Cline tunes, such as 'Walking After Midnight,' 'The Wayward Wind,' 'Crazy,' or 'I Fall To Pieces.'

God, the thought of her doing "Song to the Siren." (American standard, though?)

[electra]

It’s not a standard from the ‘Golden Age,’ but it is a classic from the American folk era. I would rather she record it for another album, perhaps the oft-mentioned, mythical ‘Pacific Ocean Blue.’

This is my senior week song lol. The power, substitute in some typewriter sounds as she'd no doubt bring it with her and bop is served.

What if it’s the cover of “Cactus” by the Pixies that was registered in 2017? What with all the Cactus emojis! They could’ve shot a video for it today (and maybe it will confirm whether or not Lana really dyed her hair brown LOL). The cover could’ve been produced with Zach Dawes in 2017 around the time they had TLSP band, so sonically, it would fit with the other covers on this record since they’re also produced by him! 

[bluefiona]

So she's basically doing a lot of duets like LFL?

[5adboy]

Y’all know this album will never come out like half of the things she promised to release right?  Sorry to be a delusional lipster, but after all the Sept. 5th drama I just can’t trust her. DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP

wait guys could we actually get a new version of Big Spender? without rap? this is the original version

 

 

 

Definitely one of my biggest cases of "songus interruptus" is LDR's small sample of "Big Spender" (Coleman and Fields, 1966) in Smiler's (2016) Big Spender. Big Spender is also similar to Thunder by having a driving percussion beat.

I definitely sympathize, as it seems a more productive way of flipping the bird at her critics than her usual flipping. However, my choice would be Pawn Shop Blues, or possibly even Fine China.
