Iron & Wine and Band of Horses Covering Sade Is a Real Thing
Seminal sleepy strummer Iron & Wine and Ben Bridwell—frontman of the Seattle indie-folk act Band of Horses—have a collaborative covers album called Sing Into My Mouth coming this summer. The 12-track effort will feature takes on songs by artists like Bonnie Raitt, Pete Seeger, Marshall Tucker Band and the Talking Heads, whose "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" lyric formed the LP's title.
Today we get to hear one of Sing Into My Mouth's most intriguing cuts, a cover of Sade's "Bullet Proof Love," off 1992's Love Deluxe. We never could've imagined the silky sounds of Sade poured through the acoustic, eclectic filter these two dudes were destined to come up with, but it's…nice! Would definitely listen again. Already have, actually. A few times.
