I couldn’t resist posting this track I came across today of Ireland’s James Vincent McMorrow covering Willow Smith’s hit “Whip My Hair” for Today FM with Ray D’arcy. Taking the Fallon/Young/Springsteen approach, this version strips the song of its dancehall roots to a harmony-laden folk rendition you’d expect from bands like Fleet Foxes or Canada’s Yukon Blonde. Maybe we’ve seen too many folk songs turned into pop songs, now its going the opposite way. Head here to buy some of his originals.
