With Big Thief's Buck Meek fresh off the release of his debut solo album Two Saviors and Montreal's Le Ren six months out from 2020's heart-wrenching Morning & Melancholia, the pair have now teamed up to cover Gordon Lightfoot's time-honoured classic "Early Morning Rain."
Releasing through Royal Mountain Records and Secretly Canadian, the duo have offered up an emotionally vulnerable, country-tinged rework of the 1966 original.
As Le Ren mastermind Lauren Spear explained in a statement, "To me, this song encapsulates missing someone. As many people are separated right now, it felt like the right moment to cover it."
She added: "Buck and I recorded it in two different countries across time and space so in turn, the production reflects the song itself."
Listen to their cover below.
