Ian McGlynn Covers The National’s “Mistaken For Strangers”
NJ piano-man/singer-songwriter Ian McGlynn deserves serious kudos for his gorgeously sparse take on The National’s “Mistaken For Strangers” (featured on his recent Memorial Day Parade EP). Gone is Matt Berninger’s boozed-out baritone replaced by McGlynn’s gently enunciated falsetto, transforming the darkly sardonic tune into a lovely lullabye for the lonely. Do check it out, along with “Small Town, Big Hearts” (an original tune from McGlynn’s recent LP, This Is The Sound).
