A few days ago, my friend Katie posted a video on my facebook timeline. After both of us being in musical ruts and discussing such sadness at our friend's house party, I shared with her a few of my favorite music bloggers. In return, she drew my attention to this cover of Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City by Kyle Morton of Typhoon and Danielle Sullivan of Wild Ones. Despite being around for over three years, I had never seen the video and was immediately swooning over the duo's rendition.
Lucky for me, I didn't have to wait long for the next Kyle and Danielle collaboration. In what may be my favorite release of the day, this cover of In Spite of Ourselves by John Prine is really hitting the right spot. While the lyrics are sometimes crass and almost entirely crude, the portrayal of real love is what matters. Is there anything more perfect for Valentine's Day? I didn't think so.
You can listen to and download the In Spite of Ourselves cover on Typhoon's bandcamp page. It might be that perfect, last-minute addition to a gifted Valentine's Day mix. Catch Wild Ones as one of the opening acts on Typhoon's latest tour.
