Covers (James Taylor album)

Covers is the sixteenth studio album and the first "covers" album by singer-songwriter James Taylor, released on September 30, 2008. The album was recorded by Taylor's regular touring band. Some of the tunes Taylor had been performing off and on in concerts for years, while others were new to his repertoire. The effort garnered modestly good reviews and two Grammy Award nominations.

History

The album was recorded over ten snowed-in days in January 2008, in a converted barn in Weston, Massachusetts. Taylor was able to assemble his regular touring group (lately dubbed "The Band of Legends") to all be present at the same time, which was rare in the contemporary recording scene. Thus, few if any overdubs were necessary during the recording process. Some of the tunes Taylor had been performing off and on in concerts for years, while others were new to his repertoire. Altogether, 20 songs were recorded.

In promotion of Covers, Taylor appeared on numerous television shows. On the September 30 edition of The Colbert Report, he humorously answered a question regarding his philosophy by simply performing "(I'm a) Road Runner" in its entirety.

Covers (Regine Velasquez album)

Covers (also known as Covers, Vol. 1) is the twelfth studio album by Filipino singer Regine Velasquez, released in the Philippines on October 20, 2004 by Viva Records. It is a cover album that consists of love songs, originally recorded by male OPM acts from the 80's and 90's. It turned Platinum three days after its official release.

The album was released on digital download through iTunes on August 1, 2004, with a slightly different cover. To date, the album has sold over 160,000 copies in the country, certified Quadruple Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry.

Background

Early in 2004, Velasquez has not yet released any studio album since Reigne (2001), which was released four years before. She has only released a few soundtracks from her hit movies and compilations of her past songs. This was the reason on why Viva Recording Management decided for Velasquez to record another full studio album. Like R2K (2000), her last all-remake album, Covers consists of revivals hence the title of the album.
