Petra Haden - Acapella 4: The Sheltering Sky (2017-2019)

To refresh your memory, Petra Haden is very talented, both as a violinist and a vocalist, but she isn't very well known. She has a particular talent for singing acappella versions of songs in which she sings all the instruments to create a full sound. So here's more in that vein.

All these songs are unreleased on any album, but have been posted at Haden's YouTube webpage. Since it had been six months since I last checked, I looked again and found she'd done one song since then, a cover of a Radiohead song. Naturally, I added it to the end of the album. Unfortunately, that's the only song she's done for all of 2019. I hope she keeps going with more of her acappella covers in the future, and more frequently.

As with past volumes in this series, some of the songs have sung words and others just have wordless vocals. The most of the ones with words are all well known, so I won't bother to list who did the originals. But there are few songs that weren't hits, so I'll detail those. "There in a Dream" is by Charlie Haden, a jazz bassist who also happens to be Petra's father. "Stonehenge" is by the hilarious Spinal Tap. The wordless ones are lesser known. "The Sheltering Sky" is by King Crimson. "Hope" is by Robert Fripp (of King Crimson). "Throughout" is by Bill Frisell."

For the cover art, I chose a photo of Haden from 2014. There are more recent photos, but I thought this is a particularly nice one.
