Nashville Monkeys? Caitlin Rose Covers Two Artic Monkeys Songs
In honor of this Saturday’s Record Store Day (April 21st), Domino Records commissioned Nashville’s up-and-coming Caitlin Rose to cover two Arctic Monkeys songs for a limited edition 7-inch record release on said Day. Alex Turner is one of favorite songwriters and Rose does his songs a great service. Check out below Rose covering Piledriver Waltz, which first appeared in the British film Submarine as a bittersweet acoustic love song, and then later was featured on the Monkeys’ most recent album Suck It and See. Rose’s sound reminds us of Jessica Lea Mayfield (high compliment in our book) and complements this song well. On the other side of the 7-inch will be Rose’s cover of Suck It and See’s standout ballad Love Is A Laserquest.
This Saturday, Record Store Day, get out and support your local record stores!! In Santa Barbara, get yourself over to Warbler Records on De La Guerra. Venturans go to Buffalo Records. And SLO people, get on down to the bountiful Boo Boo Records.
