Nina Nastasia

I can't help but want to cover Nina's songs. Her song "Bird of Cuzco" is one of the cover songs that I recorded for the album "Under the Covers." I don't make it a point to cover too many songs by the same artist but most recently, I came up with a series of chords that automatically made me start singing the song "Superstar." It reminded me of when Chan Marshall described staring in front of a television and beginning to sing the song "Satisfaction" by the Stones while playing a few guitar chords. These songs are powerful in the simplest form and the fact that it is recorded live during a John Peel session is the icing on the cake.
