My Favourite Covers 12/01/11

Yes, yes I'm a week late again but I will catch up at some point.. I promise. Okay this week I just have one cover to share with you, and it's a bloody amazing one. A friend of mine showed it to me a while ago, and I'm still in love with it. It's just such a different take on the original, and on an instrument I've never actually seen used before.

Real Late Starter - Josie Lloyd - originally by Nerina Pallot. Nerina ran a competition to find the best cover of the first single from her third album, and this didn't win, but I really think it should have done. Josie plays the song here on Kora, which is a West African Harp. This is such a beautiful cover. You HAVE to watch this.
