Cover Magazine is an album of covers reinterpreted by Giant Sand. Howe Gelb is a musician's musician. The frontman of sun-baked Arizona country-rock legends Giant Sand, he counts PJ Harvey, Grandaddy, and pretty much the whole of today's discerning alt. country set among his devoted fans. Now, however, he means to give something back: Cover Magazine fields a set of cover versions of songs by some of Gelb's friends and influences, and closes on a three-song live set recorded on tour with Grandaddy in the Spring of 2001. The cover versions should be your first point of call: mostly recorded with Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino as rhythm section, they reinvent Gelb's picks as expansive epics, creeping with weird voodoo and sand-blasted melancholy. Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" becomes a quietly sinister conga shuffle. Johnny Cash's "Wayfaring Stranger" segues into a bare, whispered take on the Sinatra classic "Fly Me To The Moon". And X's "Johnny Hit And Run Pauline" finds Polly Harvey weighing in with a fraught, tense drawl at the chorus. The pick, though, is a wonderful, finger-clicking run through Sonny Bono's "Beat Goes On"--and it's so good the band choose to reprise it on the three-song live set along with new Grandaddy number "Blue Marble Girl" and "The Inner Flame", a song by sadly-deceased Giant Sand guitarist Rainer Ptacek. -- Louis Pattison
