Heather Valley Covers Sheryl Crow

We seem to be getting more and more enamoured with Heather Valley with every release. As we're also overly into cover songs, we've been heavily anticipating her upcoming covers album since we first heard about it in August. The album still isn't out yet, but we do have a new single from it: A cover of Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy." Valley's version is a faithful cover in that it's the same basic genre of adult contemporary Americana. That's really where the similarities end. The cover is a completely stripped to bare bones version. It's quiet and haunting instead of Crow's boisterous and uplifting version. It includes two other musicians on steel guitar and bass, but somehow it feels like even less than that. 

You can listen to Heather Valley's take on "If It Makes You Happy" below. Wildflower Radio may still not have a release date, but it's still one of our most anticipated of the year. For more on Heather Valley, check out the artist's website.
