*Updated with even more covers!*
While I’m not the biggest fan of the jeans since they really do nothing to accentuate my applebottom, Levi’s has done something pretty cool and remarkably free here. The Levi’s Pioneer Sessions 2010 Revival Recordings is comprised of a dozen tunes by pioneering artists spanning multiple genres. Further sweetening the deal, each song has been re-crafted by a pretty amazing roster of SIC faves, including the likes of She & Him, The Swell Season, The Shins, The Kills, and Dirty Projectors.
Each song is paired with exclusive photos, behind-the-scenes video, and additional content that celebrates the enduring importance of the song and the influence it has across generations.

Nas – Hey Young World (Slick Rick Cover)
The Swell Season – Young Hearts Run Free (Candi Staton Cover)
