This is well-done fun covers album, co-produced by Ana’s touring partner for the WYCE Hat Trick show (10/22/07) Jason Mercer. Mercer is an up and coming Jon Mayer/Ari Hest-style folk-pop singer from London (Ontario). Covers included The Kinks, Stephen Stills, Arcade Fire, Gene Autry, Ron Sexmith, Belle & Sebastian, Sandy Denny, The Zombies, Le Tigre, and Harry Nilsson. Wow, almost diverse enough to be a WYCE playlist! Lucinda Williams called Ana “The Folk Nina Simone.” How about it Ana, why no Nina? -Pete
