Fresh from releasing their third album, A Hundred Miles Off, in May, the Walkmen are showing no signs of fatigue. Their latest features them cutting loose and covering the classic 1974 collaboration between songwriter Harry Nilsson and John Lennon in its entirety. While the covers of Nilsson's originals ("Don't Forget Me," "Black Sails") are still mostly sad-eyed, plodding downers, the covers of the covers take off. Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross" drips with soul; the whimsical children's tune "Loop de Loop" sounds like a raucous, booze-soaked party and should be added to the jukebox of every dive bar across the country pronto.
