Always pointing at the giants on whose shoulders we stand, as if trying to zoom out of the shot, to capture the bigger picture, not just a selfie. This cover here – Kirsty MacColl's They Don't Know – is no exception. In our book, Kirsty was, and always will be, the queen of songwriters, ruling many a genre. No one sang like her, in a dozen voices. No one was sassier, and no one softer. And sadly no one had a more tragic ending. 20 years after her untimely death, we HAD TO cover a tune of hers. We chose her crown jewel, one of those ‘best songs ever’, a tune that refines that feeling of ‘us against the world’, and of course, somehow, manages to transcend it. The perfect pop song. We’ve MONCed it up a bit with our 12-string and horns, but hopefully didn’t stray too far. http://www.menofnorthcountry.com/
