Lana Del Rey #2 - Summer Wine

Facebooklanadelrey.com

Hot on the heels of her nostalgic cover of Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel No. 2", Lana Del Rey returns with another faithful, old-memories version, this time it's Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's 60's hit "Summer Wine".

There's not too much more you can say about the song, it's as faithful a cover as you'll hear, the accompanying sepia-tinged video and dusky vocals of Lana and Kassidy’s Barrie James O’Neill almost identical to the original but it's a wonderful, charming song that deserves to be brought to the attention of a new audience and these these cover versions have got me wishing for is for an American Recordings style album already.

In reality, Lana tours the UK next month, with Kassidy by chance.
