Must be a day for folky covers of other genres! Hot on the heels of our earlier post of the Smoke Fairies covering The Cult, we have Town Hall Plays The Classics Vol 1, a free EP of five covers by the NY folksters.

Each member of the band  picked a favourite song and each was then given the Town Hall treatment. It comes hot on the heels of their excellent debut album, Roots and Bells (purchase here) and videos for each of the covers can be seen on YouTube here.

Try their take on Ja Rule + Ashanti’s Always On Time, or just head here to download the whole thing including covers of R Kelly and Jimmy Eat World!
