NLG's Got You Covered

This edition of NLG’s Got You Covered, our first rodeo of putting up a set of cover songs, will follow one of our favourite themes—classic songs sung by women. To us, there is nothing better than to get under the covers with one of your favourite female voices, a list that should now include Inara George of the duo The Bird and the Bee. On March 23, she and bandmate Greg will release an album entirely full of covers of Hall & Oates classics. NLG was lucky enough to get our paws on its single “I Can’t Go For That”, a song so smooth it could coax a rabbit into a foxhole, and about as sensible as Simone de Beauvoir in a black-and-white fur coat. Of course, no discussion of sensibility would be complete without mention of Emily Haines of Metric, who does an irresistible acoustic version of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice It's Alright”. After this sultry rendition we certainly wouldn’t be thinking twice. And finally, for you punky types, the quick and dirty “Heard It Through The Grapevine” by the 70’s punker chicks, The Slits.
