Courtney Barnett Covers Elyse Weinberg in New Spotify Singles Session: Listen
Courtney Barnett has dropped a new Spotify Singles Session. It includes a cover of Elyse Weinberg’s “Houses” and a live version of Barnett’s Tell Me How You Really Feel track “Charity.” Listen below. Of the Weinberg cover, Barnett said in a statement:
I first heard of Elyse Weinberg while on tour with a night off. My friend Janet Weiss (of Sleater-Kinney and many other bands) invited me to her house for a home-cooked meal. Late in the evening Janet pulled out a record titled Elyse. The artwork reminded me of Joni Mitchell’s Ladies of the Canyon. I fell in love with this mysterious artist and in particular her song “Houses.” Rumour has it that Neil Young is playing the lead guitar line. I flipped the record over but couldn’t find his name in the credits. Elyse Weinberg once said of her life in music that “the plan is to remember who i really am.” I liked that.
