Awesome covers (I know - I can contradict myself if I want) from the incomparable Molly Tuttle. I love the NorCal ska punk references & the Dead, born from her northern California rearing, and heard from her pandemic offer of covers. Her guitar performances are mind-bending. I've included several examples. - just click through: big sound from just guitar & voice at Paste, best cover of White Rabbit since Grace, doing her real full-on Americana originals (or classics) at one of the best radio studios we have (WGBH Boston - frequent there), giving guitar lessons and analyzing her influences. Then diving on YouTube will net you many more, especially bluegrass/Americana collaborations and musicianship... the rest is her story to tell.
She's made two albums and an initial EP, all really fun and worthy. The 1st is Rise - great songs, great playing and great dynamic range. The first from a couple years back and full of Americana; the 2nd born from sequestration during the pandemic and full of "just" covers. This lady is a gift with mad skills and much more. The dynamic range of the albums are different with the debut studio being a bit too loud but the covers offer unexpectedly excellent.
