Despite busy careers (and lives), the combined members of
Living Sisters
--
Inara George
,
Becky Stark
Eleni Mandell
, and new member
Alex Lilly
-- managed a 2013 covers EP that complements
Love to Live
, their unique 2010 LP. Boasting all the warmth and easy sense of acoustic swing shown earlier,
Run for Cover
also combines just a little bit of naughty with a little bit of nice in much the same way as
. There may be nothing as explicit as "Double Knots" (i.e., "my baby ties me up in double knots"), but a version of the languid pop hit "Make Love to Me" certainly approaches the same territory. Aside from natural choices including
Doris Day
's biggest hit,
Dolly Parton
's often-covered "Jolene," and two less well-known
Patsy Cline
numbers, the quartet stretches out for one song, a cover of
Funkadelic
's "Can You Get to That?" Light and pleasant,
is also backed by a band that knows how to accompany all this vocal loveliness. ~ John Bush
