jbrana Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 From NPR: "The songs of Elliot Smith are widely revered — especially by those who came of age in the '90s — but a new generation of listeners is only beginning to discover him. Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield Sing Elliott Smith is likely to expose new fans to the great singer-songwriter. Smith released five albums in his lifetime and died in 2003 from two stab wounds to the chest; he'd left a suicide note. His songs, which often dealt with depression and desperation, were beautiful and frequently quiet. This album, by Jessica Lea Mayfield and The Avett Brothers' Seth Avett, was made over a four-year period with great love for the man and his songs. The production is lean, the harmonies are beautiful, and the words and melodies are kept at the center of all 12 songs."

gmoney Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Trying to figure out if this is a bot or not. (I think every post he or she has is Amazon-related). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrana Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Not a bot. I have Prime, so I typically shop at Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throughbeingcruel Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A local shop has this listed at $14.88 for VIP members, which I am, so I may pick this up. Should probably Spotify first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorclose Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Jessica Lea Mayfield's "Tell Me" is easily one of my favorite records that has come out in the last few years. I'll likely pick this up for that reason alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This is surprisingly good. I'm usually pretty apprehensive to listen to Elliott Smith covers, but they did a really good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
