Something gentle and tenderizing is afoot in this installment, with boffo covers of The Beatles (Scott McCarl’s note perfect “Yes It Is”), Lou Reed (Chris Whitley’s delicate take on “Perfect Day”), Wilco (Bill Fay crawling inside “Jesus Etc”) and Radiohead (Hazeldine owning “Lucky”) and shimmering treats from Grandaddy, The Mother Hips, Centro-matic, Apollo Sunshine and more. Let this tussle your hair and clear the air in your head, and we’ll be back next week with a totally different mood from DI’s stony archives. For those who missed the operating principles of this series, check out the intro to the first volume.
