KT Tunstall - Cover Songs, Volume 4: 2011-2016

Here's the next in my series of KT Tunstall cover songs albums. As with the others, the sound quality is excellent, and she has fun with songs from a wide variety of artists and genres.

As I've mentioned with previous albums in this series, Tunstall grew up on the music of the 1980s and 90s, so she often favors music from those decades over the 1960s and 70s, which is more common for many of the other cover album collections I've posted by other artists. There's an especially big emphasis on the 1980s here, with seven of the 11 songs from that decade. But as a sign of her range, she does songs from as early as 1932 ("Night and Day") and as late as 2003 ("Seven Nation Army").

Six of the 11 songs are officially unreleased. But don't worry, because most of those are from radio or TV appearances, and they sound just as great as the rest.

Even the bonus track songs excellent this time. The only reason I've put "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - Seven Nation Army" is because it only partially qualifies for being a cover song. Most of it is KT Tunstall's great original hit "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," with about a minute of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripe near the end. So it's more of an original than a cover, in my opinion. But I figure it's interesting enough to include as a bonus track anyway.

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

01 Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
02 Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin' Stevens
03 Sweet Dreams [Are Made of This] - Eurythmics
04 Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
05 The Boys of Summer - Don Henley
06 Deportee [Plane Wreck at Los Gatos] - Woody Guthrie
07 Night and Day - Cole Porter / Fred Astaire
08 Should I Stay or Should I Go - Clash
09 Promised You a Miracle - Simple Minds
10 Writing to Reach You - Travis
11 State Trooper- Bruce Springsteen
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
