So coverte der Sänger das Lied "One More Try" aus dem Repertoire des Pop-Barden sowie "Trouble" von Little Feat. Die Neuinterpretationen entstanden eigentlich im Zuge einer A.V. Club-Session.

There, I said pretty much what everybody else has been thinking for the last 20 years or so and it feels pretty damn good to be the first to say so.

This cover of "One More Try" by Iron & Wine is really good though and you should ...
