Comments: In between her own studio LPs, English musician Gemma Ray laid down this 16-song set of covers in just five days, with the help of Matt Verta-Ray of blues rock masters Heavy Trash. And she did it all from memory, tackling the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Buddy Holly, Obits, Gun Club, Mudhoney, Etta James and more--not to mention an unlikely fusing of Sonic Youth's "Drunken Butterfly" and the theme from Rosemary's Baby. Check out "I'd Rather Be Your Enemy," "Ghost on the Highway," "Only to Other People" and "Looking the World Over."
