Despite exciting news of a new album being in the works, Fiona Apple’s 4th LP (originally aimed for a 2011 release) remains missing in action as of this fall. While we wait, her impressive run of live covers continues, as Apple has regularly taken the stage of LA’s Largo over the past year, more recently joining the Watkins Family Hour for unplugged folk renditions of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” the Everly Brothers’ “You’re the One I Love,” and a few more classic tunes. You can watch Apple sing the former take as a duet with Sara Watkins at the 40-second mark above, check out an excellent bluegrass version of “Fast As You Can” with the Punch Brothers’ Chris Thile over at Rawkblog, and revisit our growing collection of her covers here.
