Elle Cordova & Toni Lindgren - Sunday Mornings with Elle and Toni, Volume 6: 2018-2019

Here's the next in my long series of acoustic covers albums by Elle Cordova & Toni Lindgren. Please see the previous albums in this series for more about them and their style of music.

As I've mentioned previously, one thing I really like about their cover versions is how they mix performing well-known, classic songs with lesser known ones that are often just as good. With each album, there are at least a couple of songs that are new to me. That's especially the case with this album. There are a handful of unusual songs this time around. 

One great example is their version of "NFL on Fox Theme." They took this melody, which should be familiar to anyone who watches professional football games on TV, and turned it into kind of a bluegrass hoedown! Pretty clever and fun.

This album is 46 minutes long.

This is the list of the original artists for each song:

01 No Rain - Blind Melon
02 Sea of Love - Phil Phillips
03 NFL on Fox Theme [Instrumental] - Scott Schrerer
04 Forever and Ever, Amen - Randy Travis
05 Baby Blue - Trevor Lindgren
06 Mary Hamilton - traditional
07 Illegal Smile - John Prine
08 The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
09 Your Song - Elton John
10 I'm Not the Only One - Sam Smith
11 The Monkey and the Engineer - Jesse Fuller
12 Ain't Nobody Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone - Flatt & Scruggs
13 The Mighty Quinn [Quinn the Eskimo] - Bob Dylan
14 Rocky Raccoon - Beatles
15 Fly Me to the Moon - Bart Howard / Peggy Lee

  1. I have really taken to Reina Del Cid, so keep these coming! As you've said, she doesn't have the strongest voice (in a technical sense), but a certain "je ne sais quoi", I would say a certain "cuteness" that makes these versions a nice, breezy listen.
