Molly Tuttle is releasing a covers album later this month, recorded entirely while in quarantine. Suitably titled ...but i'd rather be with you, the record releases on Aug. 28 on Compass Records.
Tuttle released a cover of Rancid's "Olympia" earlier today (video below).
"I used to listen to Rancid and Operation Ivy all the time as an angsty 7th grader, and a couple of friends and I spent many hours learning their songs to perform at our school concerts," Tuttle says of choosing this song. "Years later, I still love these songs!! When I played a show in Olympia, WA last fall this song was stuck in my head all day so we learned it at sound check and played it in the show. Then in December I showed it to Ketch Secor and we played it on our duo tour -- he also sang harmony on this track and sounds terrific. This song is so good and just makes me super happy for unexplainable reasons."
The record also features covers of The Rolling Stones, The National, Cat Stevens, Grateful Dead, and more.
