Elle Cordova & Toni Lindgren - Sunday Mornings with Elle and Toni, Volume 7: 2019

If you haven't discovered the fun of Elle Cordova and Toni Lindgren playing cover songs, it's never too late to join in. This is yet more of the same good stuff.

As I've mentioned before, this duo has a mellow and sublime charm. A case in point is their cover on this album of Led Zeppelin's "Ramble On." First off, anyone who does a cover of "Ramble On" is okay in my book. :) But it's notable lead vocalist Elle Cordova doesn't even attempt to hit the very high notes of Led Zeppelin's lead singer Robert Plant, nor does she try to imitate his charismatic style. Instead, she sings the song in a low-key, folky way, which also turns out to be very nice. It's like that with everything they do.

As usual, the duo has a nice mix of really famous songs with obscurities that should be better known. For instance, personally, I didn't know the songs here by the Tallest Man on Earth, the Wood Brothers, or the Punch Brothers, and I doubt you know them either. But, if you're the kind of person who likes the music at this blog, chances are you do know more than half of the songs overall. The cover of "Into the Music" is especially sublime.

This album is 44 minutes long.

Here's a list of the original artists for each song:

01 The Gardener - Tallest Man on Earth
02 You're Gonna Live Forever in Me - John Mayer
03 Hearts and Bones - Paul Simon
