The first single from Johnson's tribute LP to Hank Cochran tackles the late country songwriter's most widely covered number. It's closer to the 1965 Eddy Arnold hit than Elvis' overcooked 1971 version, as Johnson's old-school romantic nihilism intertwines with Krauss' hummingbird-precise voice. Framed by circling steel guitar, the plea for love in dark days feels as timely as a Twitter feed.

“The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie”

The opener off the Welsh group’s The Big Roar album was an epic one, but the band was worried that track had polarized fans. “The first song is eight minutes long,” Rhydian Dafydd, the Joy Formidable bassist, said. “If you did that in the Seventies people would be, ‘Whatever.’ You do it now, people think, ‘Holy s---!’ Some people think it’s the f---ing greatest track on the entire album, and some people think it’s f---ing boring. It’s that element of needing to challenge people.” The band concluded through the song’s lyrics that love was the “everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
