Little Annie Covers U2, Sinatra, Brel on Good Pianos LP
Singer, songwriter, ordained minister, and-- perhaps more than anything else-- iconoclast: there's no pinning down Little Annie. And, though her latest project sounds uncharacteristically vanilla, one can only assume the singularity lies just under the seemingly staid surface.
When Bad Things Happen to Good Pianos, Annie and longtime collaborator Paul Wallfisch's latest LP, is a covers album featuring plenty of tunes you'll recognize. Still, Annie's putting her distinctive mark all over ten classics from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Leon Russell, Tina Turner, Jacques Brel, Candi Staton, Michel Legrand, U2, and others. The disc emerges January 29 via Durtro/Jnana/Southern.
Annie and Wallfisch have a European tour lined up for February, while Annie and Baby Dee will later join Marc Almond (Soft Cell) for Almond's "Sin Songs, Torch and Romance" residency in London.
