Marika Hackman releases live cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘Between The Bars’
The track features on last month’s ‘Covers’ album.
After sharing her covers album ‘Covers’ last month, Marika Hackman has released a live cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘Between The Bars’, performed with her full band in an abandoned swimming pool.
“Out of everything on this record, I kept ‘Between the Bars’ closest to the original,” Marika adds. “On the ‘Any Human Friend’ tours in 2019, I started playing it in the set - I hope you like this version from the livestream. I just wanted to do a really good performance of it, more like an homage than a cover.”
