ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST : More Fiona . . . . .

Fiona Apple - Cover Songs, Volume 4: 2016-2022

Paul he say
Here's the last of four volumes of Fiona Apple performing cover versions. I particularly enjoyed this series, and I wish it could keep going, but this is all I could find with worthy sound quality. This last volume gets us caught up to the present day, more or less (as I write this in early 2024).

All but four of the songs here have been officially released. They're from the usual mix of movie soundtracks, appearances on other artist's albums, and various artists compilations. 

As for the unreleased ones, those are tracks 1, 2, 3, and 9. The first one, "Ain't That a Shame," was done for an Internet show. The next two are from another Internet show, this one hosted by musician Andrew Bird (and they're duets with Bird). I included three other songs from that same show on the previous album in this series. Finally, the ninth song, "The Whole of the Moon," was done for the TV show "The Affair," but it only appeared in the show, not on a soundtrack for it or anything like that.

There are two bonus tracks, "All Night Thing" and "You Don't Own Me." They're both from audience concert bootlegs. Their quality was good enough for bonus tracks (some others didn't even make that cut), but not good enough for the album proper.


01 Ain't That a Shame - Fats Domino
02 Why - Andrew Bird
03 Oh, Sister - Bob Dylan
04 I Can't Wait to Meet You - Solangie Jimenez & Thomas Cabaniss
05 Your Molecular Structure - Mose Allison
06 It Won't Be Wrong - Byrds
07 In My Room - Beach Bosy
08 Don't Worry 'Bout Me - Katherine Perry
09 The Whole of the Moon - Waterboys
10 7 O'Clock News - Silent Night - Simon & Garfunkel medley, including "Silent Night" by Franz Xaver Gruber & Joseph Mohr
11 Love More - Sharon Van Etten
12 [Remember Me] I'm the One Who Loves You - Stuart Hamblen
13 Where the Shadows Lie - Bear McCreary
  

All Night Thing - Temple of the Dog
You Don't Own Me - Leslie Gore

Hiya Andy, Saw this on Facebook and thought you may find it of note:

Bob Dylan is not the first songwriter to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. The Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Tagore’s work, like Dylan’s, recreates tradition and crosses genres.
Books often win prizes and authors often help others to win prizes. However, few authors write a book that assists someone else to win the highest accolade in the world of literature.
Christopher Ricks wrote a book called “Dylan’s Visions of Sin”.
Christopher Ricks was a student at Balliol College before becoming a Fellow at Worcester College in Oxford. He then took up a teaching post at Boston University in the USA in 1968. He was knighted in 2008. Sir Christopher Ricks is considered to be one of the most eminent scholars of English Literature ever produced by Oxford University.
His book was a scholarly work about the lyrics of Bob Dylan. It was published in 2004.
In 2016, Bob Dylan, the man who was born and brought up in St. Louis County, Minnesota was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
