Ethan & Maya Hawke – “We Don’t Run” (Willie Nelson Cover)
Father-daughter pair Ethan and Maya Hawke have shared a cover of Willie Nelson’s “We Don’t Run,” which will be included on a new compilation celebrating the 20th anniversary of the archival label Light In The Attic.
Light in the Attic & Friends collects covers of songs from albums that they’ve re-released over the years; most of the covers have been previously shared, but this is the first time that they’ll all be available in one place. “We believe that an essential component of archival work, aside from simply honoring the music, is to seek ways in which to bring fresh perspectives, context, and reverence to the original artists and their work,” LITA founder Matt Sullivan said in a statement.
The vinyl edition of the album will be released on Record Store Day’s Black Friday event on November 24.
To kick things off, LITA is sharing the Hawkes’ take on “We Don’t Run.” “This song is off Willie Nelson’s brilliant album Spirit, which has been a mainstay in our home since it was released in 1996,” Ethan Hawke added. “Everybody needs a good anthem song. This is one of the best.”
