Track of the Day: Elyse Weinberg - "Houses" (ft. Neil Young)

For those of you familiar with Vetiver, "Houses" is going to ring a bell. The group covered this tune by Elyse Weinberg on their album Thing of the Past. Weinberg's lilting and almost lackadaisical delivery is imitated almost beat for beat in Vetiver's version. The original plays heavily on the the jangling guitar which is overlain with Neil Young's angular guitar. Greasepaint Smile, Weinberg's unreleased 1969 album, has gotten the Numero Group treatment and features, in addition to Young, former Crazy Hourse & E-Street Band member Nils Lofgren. As per usual, Aquarium Drunkard got here before us, but we're more than happy riding on such prestigious coattails.
