Out of print in the U.S.! Originally released in 2001, Someday My Blues Will Cover the Earth is a collection of 10 songs and three interludes: emotional ballads and, in the words of leader Warn Defever himself, simple, make-out R&B. As Defever had intended, Singer Lovetta Pippen's vocal is the star of the show. In one instance she can demonstrate a childlike innocence 'Write My Name in the Groove' and in the next breath she artfully regurgitates the fragile tenderness of Billie Holiday in 'Solitude' and then reaches the glorious high pitches of Linda Lewis in 'Karin's Blues'. Putting emphasis on the vocal doesn't mean that the music has been disregarded. From lo-fi blues to classical to R&B this is an album that has been toiled over. 4AD.
