We Got You Covered: Keller & the Keels

(Admittedly) I've been pretty bad with the We Got You Covered segments in the past couple of weeks, but I think an entire album devoted to covers should make up for it.

Thief is Keller Williams' 15th album release (crazy, right?) and the second collaboration with the "out-of-sight" husband and wife duo of Larry and Jenny Keel. Keller and the Keels went into the studio for a few days in December 2009 and crafted a masterful follow-up to their 2006 album Grass. Comprised entirely of unique bluegrass renditions of songs originally written and recorded by a diverse group of musicians such as The Butthole Surfers, Ryan Adams, Amy Winehouse, The Raconteurs, Marcy Playground and many others, Thief is sure to surprise you in the most foot-stomping and knee-slapping way.

Give "Sex and Candy" a listen below:

Get yourself a copy of Thief and rediscover how, regardless of whether a song is penned by Keller or The Presidents of the United States of America, it somehow becomes its own.
