    In the beginning of the song I wanna sing "Lets stop on the westcoast line..."

    Same here!
    I liked it though. I hadn't heard the original before today so I had nothing to compare it to
    “Do not postpone happiness”
    (Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)

    Love Brandi and was really looking forward to this. But a total miss by PJ. Such a powerful song with heartbreaking lyrics and PJ turns it into a 2 1/2 minute punk rock lite spin. Put more effort into Batman with Harper and Olivia.

    Trust me I love PJ - best American band ever. But they could've done so much better with this or another BCB song.

    Brandi says she loves their version. I think it's ok. Just an average rock tune to me.

    At best. Nice effort and all - don't want to criticize the band for this.... I just don't like the song itself (or maybe what PJ did to it - I don't know the original). Weird tempo and rhythm that doesn't appeal to me. It just doesn't have any real "feel" to it IMHO. No atmosphere. Oh well. Different strokes and all that.

    I love the way they covered this. I'd replace any one LB song with this one!

    I love how this was recorded. The drums sound great. I didn't like Avocado very much but the way it was recorded I liked. This kind of reminds me of that. Minus the brickwalling.

    You think she would say she was disappointed or sort it was "so so" if that's what she was really thinking? :)

    she'd probably say nothing at all.

    I doubt that. She had to acknowledge it somehow. But maybe she really does love it - no way to know.

    Adele, Pearl Jam, Dolly Parton Cover Brandi Carlile To Support War Child

    By Aaron Brophy | www.samaritanmag.com
    Posted on April 12, 2017

    Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of The Story – An Album to Benefit War ChildPearl Jam, Adele, Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson and Jim James are among the artists reinterpreting songs from Brandi Carlile's 2007 album The Story, with all proceeds going to War Child UK, the organization dedicated to helping children in conflict zones around the world.

    "Do you remember Sunday school? Goliath was a giant, he was undefeated, menacing and a paralyzing presence in his time," Carlile begins in a post on her website. "Goliath is our refugee crisis and the apathy it breeds. In particular, this giant is most devastating in that it is destroying the lives of the truly innocent, the hope of the world - children."

    The first single is Pearl Jam's cover of "Again Today" and features Carlile on backing vocals. The just-released song will be one of 14 songs on Cover Stories: Brandi Carlile Celebrates 10 Years of The Story – An Album to Benefit War Child, out May 5 on Legacy Recordings. Former President Barack Obama provides the foreword.

    According to the press material Chris Stapleton plays guitar on Kris Kristofferson's version of “Turpentine" and Miranda Lambert sings backing vocals on Anderson East’s take on “Josephine.” Dave Cobb produced the tracks by Kristofferson, Parton, and Price, while Patrick Carney of the Black Keys produced Ruby Amanfu. Carlile and longtime bandmates The Twins (Tim and Phil Hanseroth) produced the Secret Sisters and TORRES.

    "We’re giving this thing all we’ve got," said Carlile in her post. "Everyone is donating all proceeds to War Child U.K. Charity projects like this don’t come along every day; even the major record label putting this album out is donating their proceeds to War Child U.K. We are going to witness radical cavalry and compassion because we choose to.

    "Help us make this album a gift to kids and a way forward. Please buy Cover Stories, and if you can’t - tell fifty people about it, volunteer, put your weight into it. I don’t care if you’re right or left handed, wrap your fingers around this thing and launch the son of a bitch right at the evil eye."

    Work on the covers album began last year through Carlile's Looking Out Foundation, which "amplifies the impact of music by empowering those without a voice. From neighborhood to nation, we help fund causes and organizations that often go unnoticed."

    "This fantastic album will help fund our vital work — from supporting Syrian children to access education, to reintegrating child soldiers in the Central African Republic and working in juvenile justice in Afghanistan," said War Child U.K. CEO Rob Williams, in a press release.
