1. MAGGIE ANTONE INTERPRETATIONS
AN EP OF COVER SONGS HAS NEVER FELT SO ORIGINAL THANKS TO THIS RELEASE BY ANTONE. HERE, SHE COVERS AN ARRAY OF MUSIC THAT SHOWCASES THE LEVELS OF HER ARTISTRY. ANTONE SINGS COVERS THAT INCLUDE BEYONCE’S “DADDY LESSONS,” DOLLY PARTON’S “JOLENE,” AND “FEATHERED INDIANS” BY TYLER CHILDERS. WHILE KEEPING THE ORIGINAL SOUNDS IN MIND, SHE IS ABLE TO HARNESS HER OWN KIND OF MAGIC.
