 "Only when sung by Johnston, with his childlike falsetto climbing over crackling, noise-tainted backgrounds, do they truly reflect all their ramshackle poetry and the turmoil of his confused mind."

 "An admirable operation, as it’s a tribute to Johnston’s prolific talent, one of the first great lo-fi artists and an inspiration to many."

This review analyzes 'The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered,' a double CD tribute featuring covers by indie artists alongside Daniel Johnston's originals. While some covers shine with fresh arrangements, the original tracks retain a unique, heartfelt rawness that only Johnston can deliver. The album celebrates Johnston's enduring talent and influence in the lo-fi and indie music scenes. Listen to this heartfelt tribute and discover the magic of Daniel Johnston’s originals alongside inspired indie covers.

 From the very first notes I realize I’ll never stop buying albums for their covers, because then I end up finding albums like this one.

 Recorded 'live' with all the mistakes and imperfections that can happen but why don’t we just leave them in?

 A voice like Lady Holiday who has eaten a fisherman and a somewhat brushed drum, a choked jazzy rhythm.

 Music for sitting on the porch longer than necessary, with the front door open to let in just a piece of the starry sky.

 Arthur Russell was a musician from the New York scene of the ’70s/’80s who composed by mixing various genres... a visionary forerunner of musical crossover.

 "It’s true, it may not be very original, but it’s sincere. The voice is beautiful too, delicate, fragile, and sentimental..."

 After 7 years and about ten records, they’ve left their melancholic indie bedroom in foggy Scotland to take a trip to California... they’re still unlucky, yes, but now they’re tanned and cheerful!

 While I’m humming 'We need to talk... step into my office, baby...' I think music serves this purpose too, doesn’t it?

 How many different influences can you mix into an album without ending up with a record that sounds like a collection of your favorite songs?

 I do not find the famous personal touch, what distinguishes talent from a xerox, in the 13 tracks of Lovers.

The Sleepy Jackson's 2003 album Lovers is a diverse mix of styles influenced by many iconic artists. However, the reviewer feels the album lacks a distinct personal touch or cohesion, making it sound more like a patchwork than a unified statement. Although some tracks, like 'Good Dancers,' stand out, the overall impression is underwhelming. The album reflects Luke Steele's complex personality and ambitious vision, but the execution leaves questions for future works. Explore The Sleepy Jackson's Lovers to decide if this eclectic mix resonates with your musical taste.
