"Take Care" (Big Star cover)!
“These Toronto late ’70s punk-era icons…came to life only two years after Big Star banged out a third album. This cover (the best one I've heard so far) retains the wistful trepidation that ’70s Chilton gushed in spades. Leader Andy Meyers’ fragile vocal retains that succinctly, while his and Ken Badger’s guitars softly chime out the bluesy melancholy. Striking, again”. JACK RABID, THE BIG TAKEOVER
“This powerful version of ‘Take Care’ was recorded in 2009. It features the band, plus producer Joby Baker’s strings and Susheela Dawne’s vocals.” IT'S PSYCHEDELIC BABY
