Shivaree has a new album out. This isn't it.
The new album, entitled
Tainted
Love: Mating Calls and Fight Songs, is a collection of
covers. But to my shame, I know almost none of the originals. Maybe
if I did, I'd enjoy it more. But
vocalist Ambrosia Parsley (and isn't that the most perfect name for a
lead singer?) has such a distinctive voice that I just had to hear
more. That led me here, to the group's third album. And perhaps
because I don't know any of these songs and didn't expect to, or
perhaps because the performances are more accessible, I found here the
kind of listen experience I almost but didn't quite get on the new
album.
So I'd suggest you listen to both and decide for yourself. Maybe
you'll like one; maybe you'll like the other. And maybe your musical
knowledge is better or at least more current than mine, and you'll
appreciate Shivaree's way with a cover.
