Premiere: Nina Persson - Sometimes (Grin Cover)

Nina Persson did a raw take on Nils Lofgren and Grin's 1972 hit Sometimes for her solo debut album Animal Heart earlier this year. She however kept it as a bonus track for the Japanese market. For Record Store Day her version sees a limited edition release of just 300 copies happen on a white vinyl 7". Nice! Album closer This Is Heavy Metal is on the flip side. We love that where Nils' voice sounds airy and unhurt Nina adds a new dimension of depth and knowledge. He was just over 20 when he recorded the original and Nina turns 40 in September. Those extra years lived makes a rich flower bed of memories and experiences that clearly can be heard in her amazing delivery. We're playing both versions back to back and will continue to do so - the different perspectives make for a truly great listen! Enjoooy!
