vetiver-thing%20of%20the%20past.jpgAficionados of Andy Cabic's caravan may already be hip to many of these covers, having possibly heard the touring band assembled for To Find Me Gone playing from this very songbook during their past few visits to town. The laidback layered harmonies on Elyse Weinberg's "Houses" betray relations to Gary Louris' Vagabonds sessions (on which Cabic guested, and with whom the Vetiver live band has toured and backed up), while Vashti Bunyan sleepily tackles private-press little-known Dia Joyce. Includes Cabic and company's take on Loudon Wainwright III's eminently repeatable "The Swimming Song".
