Since releasing 2015's
Dave Cobb-produced
Things That Can’t Be Undone, Alberta's
Corb Lund has been touring relentlessly and doing charity work. Preparing to write and record a new set of originals, the singer/songwriter, with his
Hurtin' Albertans in tow, issued the eight-track
Cover Your Tracks EP, co-produced with
John Evans. It's a divergence for
Lund, whose Americana recordings have made him one of North America's most acclaimed roots artists. He chose these tunes from his band's live set and/or their honored places in his life. While most are readily recognizable by their original artists,
Lund infuses most of them with fresh energy; he also enlists of a couple of guests to assist.
