Classic Album Review: Twilight Singers | She Loves You

Greg Dulli works his seductive magic with an intriguing & eclectic set of covers.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Once a mack daddy, always a mack daddy.

Smooth operator Greg Dulli continues to work his seductive musical mojo on the third disc from his post-Afghan Whigs collective The Twilight Singers. An intriguing and eclectic set of covers, the 11-song She Loves You finds the smoky, sultry singer making time with songs by everyone from Björk (the shimmery haze of Hyperballad) and Billie Holiday (the devil’s waltz of Strange Fruit) to Elmore James (the dusty blues of Hard Time Killing Floor) to John Coltrane (the hypnotic swirl of A Love Supreme). As you’d expect, he scores with every one of them. Just as he’s sure to score with you.
