I went through a phase in middle school where I listened to the Lemonheads a bit more than I care to admit. It’s A Shame About Ray was one of those catchy albums that started fueling my search and discovery of indie music. It also featured a cover of Paul Simon’s “Mrs. Robinson.”
Over the past two or three years, I’ve been in a serious Townes Van Zandt phase, listening to his albums, watching documentaries and just getting lost in his lyrics. “Waiting Around To Die” is the track that stands out among all others.
I was a little nervous seeing the Lemonheads releasing a cover of the song, but they did a phenomenal job maintaining its spirit without any adverse changes. The song is featured on their freshly released album, Varshons. You can buy at Amazon.
