I am a long time fan of both Susanna Hoffs and Aimee Mann, and the two artists sound glorious on a newly-released cover of Badfinger's majestic 1971 classic "Name of the Game." Listen to the track HERE.
The compelling track will be featured on Hoffs' forthcoming covers album Bright Lights due Friday, Nov. 12, 2021 via Baroque Folk Records.
While the acclaimed singers trade verses in the opening part of the song, their shimmering harmonies gloriously immerse the listener as the song grows in beauty and power.
Hoffs' 2012 solo album Someday was one of my favorite releases of the decade and I'm really looking forward to the release of Bright Lights next month.
