To celebrate Dolly Parton’s birthday yesterday, Kishi Bashi shared an excellent new cover of “Early Morning Breeze,” from her formative 1971 album Coat Of Many Colors. The cover introduces a subtly transformed sonic palette, including a short violin solo from the string extraordinaire. “I’ve always loved Dolly Parton,” he explains. “I think an artist’s personality plays a part in appreciating their work. I love how she’s always so generous and grounded in this crazy world of show business.” Kishi Bashi’s “Early Morning Breeze” is now available to stream at all DSPs HERE via Joyful Noise Recordings.
