Sep 21, 2017Disagree with the reviews. Brannan's vocal power is strong, and delightful. Even with the more somber songs (like "Drowning'), I find his interpretations to sensitive to the emotion of the song, and less to whether it was sufficiently different from the original performance.

This album ultimately emerges as an erratic project, its highlights spread too thinly to do much good.

Jay Brannan means well on his first collection of cover songs. Problem is, he doesn’t bring much of himself to the proceedings on In Living Cover, aside from a dead-serious delivery set against a spare folk backdrop.

Most of the album's remaining tracks are utterly vacuous interpretations of songs that few are likely to care much about. They offer nothing new to anyone or anything.
