From Wilco to John Denver, Mountain Man (Amelia Meath, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Molly Sarlé) have been providing us with a series of cover songs since the release of their comeback album Magic Ship, providing reassurance that they aren’t about to disappear again just yet.
For their latest cover, and new single, they send a socially-distanced unified virtual hug towards Kacey Musgraves:
“We are all huge fans of Kacey Musgraves,” says the band. “‘Slow Burn’” embodies the magic of the unfolding of life, the power of being present and patient and knowing that sometimes things just take time. Like following a thread—it requires attention and curiosity.”
The digital single is out now – and it’s also our Song of the Day.
The song fits in nicely on our Mellow Folk playlist, so if you like the sound of this then go check it out here. And if that doesn’t get your fill then check out their NPR Tiny Desk Concert…
