In an effort to make Mondays more bearable . . . we are releasing a new Bethan cover for the next 5 Mondays in a row. This is the second one. A beautiful cover of 'All The World Is Green' by Tom Waits.
From singer Jessi Hall :
The songs in this collection are those we wish we'd had the inclination or talent to write ourselves, songs that make the regular rotation in our home, and songs that have become synonymous with our life as parents.
Here's what she had to say about this specific track :
This song is a novel. I first heard it as a backdrop of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and later became transfixed by Blood Money. Beautiful, tragic, measured— it might be a perfect song. We love to play it and couldn't help but record it, even just for us to remember when we're old.

This is amazing I've only heard a few of your old albums 2000 and 2002 album which loved. I listed to your brand new one and was blown away. I bought the vinyl and can't wait to get. It's a blessing you guys are still making music! nealblackburn
