About
On November 5th, 2002 The Mountain Goats released their album
Tallahassee on
4AD. Now, ten years later, artists and songwriters in all genres consider it a landmark album. To celebrate Tallahassee's tenth birthday, we are pulling together fourteen different artists to cover the fourteen tracks on the album, creating Tallahassee Turns Ten: A Mountain Goats Cover Album.
John Darnielle, a singer/songwriter hailed by the New Yorker as "America's best non-hip-hop lyricist," has been releasing music as The Mountain Goats since the early '90s. Tallahassee, his first studio album, was a departure from the lo-fi, home-recorded sound of his previous albums. As his 4AD debut, it introduced his music to a wider audience than ever before.
Some of the artists who will be contributing are
Kimya Dawson,
Jeffrey Lewis,
Hallelujah the Hills,
Andrew Jackson Jihad, and many more.
