“Blue Turns to Grey” by The Walkmen // Originally by The Rolling Stones (2012)
The Walkmen continue their excellent year by covering one of my favorite songs by The Rolling Stones (from their excellent one-two punch of 1965’s “December’s Children” and 1966’s “Aftermath”). The song was recorded for Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 6 Celebration of The Rolling Stones. Naturally, this fits perfectly in the Walkmen’s current wheelhouse of incorporating 50’s/60’s guitar pop melodies and doo wop influences, so of course you can count on a spectacular cover.
