Esther Rose‘s You’ve Made It This Far was one of my favourite discoveries of last year. The New Orleans-based Rose caught my attention with the lovely tunes collected on that album such as “Lower 9 Valentine” and “Handyman” and definitely impressed when I caught her opening for Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets back in September of last year.
Rose pays tribute to her former tour mate on her upcoming EP My Favorite Mistakes, a collection of covers from the likes of Lowe, Roy Orbison, Hank Williams and Sheryl Crow, whose “My Favorite Mistake” provides the EP with its title.
My Favorite Mistakes is out May 29 via Father/Daughter Records. Check out Rose’s version of Nick Lowe’s “Blue On Blue” below.
