BLACK MIDI, NEW ROAD Part ll. The Covers.

[@jasperclark1246]

Isaac kills Born to Run! Holy crap. He makes it sound like he wrote it - with how much energy he puts into the vocal. Truly a once and a life time performer and songwriter.

[@LouSmith]

He does nail it. It was tricky knowing who was going to cover each part of the song. Isaac was sitting down in a dark little spot.

[@trashpigeon1164]

Lou is an unsung hero for us fans that live outside London

[@LouSmith]

Thanks TrashPigeon. I do get sung sometimes. It feels good.
