Shannon Lay Shares Beguiling Cover Of Nick Drake’s “From The Morning”
On April 14th, 2023, Shannon Lay will release the nine-song Covers Vol. 1 worldwide on all DSPs through Sub Pop. Following the release of Lay’s version of “Angeles,” by Elliott Smith, comes her beguiling cover of the famed Nick Drake song, “From The Morning.”
Lay shares this about the song: “When I decided to do a covers record, I knew I had to pay tribute to Nick Drake. Pink Moon is one of those records I never get tired of listening to. I chose two songs from it, “From the Morning” and “Horn.” The combo felt really nice, and doing a little John Fahey treatment on “Horn” ended up bringing it into this lovely realm of goodness. Nick Drake left this earth far too soon, but he lives on in his amazing songs. I hope somewhere, somehow, he knows how influential he is. Anytime, any mood, Nick Drake always hits just right. “
You can listen to “From The Morning” HERE.
Starting today, Lay will embark on an 8-date run opening for Whitney in Denver, CO, with additional shows in Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco, ending on March 30th in her home city of Los Angeles. She will head overseas in April, playing headline shows in France, Manchester, Bristol, and London with performances at Sound & Vision Festival in Cambridge, UK, and Roots of Heaven Festival in Haarlem, NL. See below for a full list of dates.
