New recording: True Love Will Find You in the End
I spent yesterday afternoon recording, and this morning mixing, a cover of a wonderful Daniel Johnston song called True Love Will Find You in the End.
Follow that link to listen to it over at Metafilter Music.
I learned the song from playing it with the Harvey Girls; it’s a bit different to be singing both the main and the harmony vocals on it, but I think it works reasonably well. I haven’t been recording nearly enough music for a while now, so I’m hoping this is a dam-breaker and I’ll get back in the habit.
Hiram and Melissa covered another Johnston tune, Walkin’ the Cow, on an all-covers album they released a while back called Our History is Your Kitsch. You can listen to the whole record at that link; there’s a bunch of great stuff on it.

Just listened to your cover- excellent! I was thrilled to see you’re still recording, and even more thrilled to hear it.
Thank you, as always, for making my ears so happy.

Well, I find the song itself to be very depressing, but the piano and the harmonies were quite quite lovely. Nice job!
