For more than 20 years, acclaimed reissue label Light in the Attic Records has shined
a spotlight on some of music’s most unique — and often forgotten — voices. But
reviving these long-out-of-print recordings is only half of the process. “We believe
that an essential component of archival work, aside from simply honoring the music,
is to seek ways in which to bring fresh perspectives, context, and reverence to the
original artists and their work,” says LITAfounder, Matt Sullivan. Thus, LITA’s
acclaimed cover series was born, in which contemporary acts pay homage to their
favorite LITA artists and songs. Spanning more than a decade, 20 of these inspired
cover songs will be available together for the very first time, exclusively for Black
Friday (November 24) on the 2xLP Light in the Attic & Friends.
From Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band covering Detroit singer-songwriter
Sixto Rodriguez and Mac DeMarco performing a song by Japanese icon Haruomi
Hosono, to Iggy Pop & Zig Zags honoring funk queen Betty Davis, and Ethan & Maya
Hawke covering country great Willie Nelson, these performances bridge the gap
between generations, languages, and musical traditions.
