Studio version of the ballad appears on Tuttle’s new covers EP

Molly Tuttle’s covers EP …but i’d rather be with you, too was a quiet surprise upon its release earlier this month, with the bluegrass singer, songwriter and guitarist interpreting songs like “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with guests like Nathaniel Rateliff. On Thursday, Tuttle released a live performance video of her rendition of Sheryl Crow’s “Strong Enough” with Americana songwriter Madison Cunningham.

Filmed in the Santa Monica mountains, the video begins with Tuttle perched in a tree, playing the signature opening to Crow’s 1993 ballad off her debut LP, Tuesday Night Music Club. Cunningham joins in when the action moves to a mountain trail, harmonizing with Tuttle and taking her own verse. It’s a simple yet engaging performance, framed by Tuttle and Cunningham’s acoustic guitars.

“I have been a fan of Madison’s music since discovering her amazing album Who Are You Now in 2019,” Tuttle says in a statement. “We got to jam together on a music cruise we were both part of in 2020 right before the shutdown and I’ve been dying to play music with her again. Since Madison is such an incredible triple threat as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, I thought it would be fun to pay tribute to another badass singer/songwriter/instrumentalist who inspires us both, Sheryl Crow.”

Along with the Crow and Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks covers, Tuttle recorded a version of dream-pop duo Phantogram’s “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore” with Iron & Wine for her EP. The project follows Tuttle’s full-length covers album, …but i’d rather be with you, released in 2020.

T.I. has been hinting at his supposed final album Kill The King for quite some time, and it now feels like that moment is getting closer. He recently posted a clip showing himself cutting off his dreadlocks while previewing a new track produced by Pharrell Williams, which has since been released as “Let Em Know.” The song comes across as tough and rhythm driven, tapping into the kind of bounce that has defined much of the Atlanta rapper’s strongest work over the years. It might not fully persuade everyone that he is operating at his absolute peak, but there is no denying the confidence and personality he brings to the instrumental, riding it with an easy swagger and infectious momentum. Now the focus turns to what T.I. ultimately delivers with this farewell project, which fans are hoping arrives sooner rather than later.

Quotable Lyrics from Let Em Know

Big dog, all we get is bread, I ain't never scared,
Big flex on a n***a head, what I'm standing on?
Business, big check, we done did that,
Pushing whips back, better give me respect and some more
