Sandi Thom // The Big Ones Get Away Feat. Buffy Sainte-Marie

The Big Ones Get Away - Single -Single

The Big Ones Get Away is the second single to be lifted from Thom’s latest album Flesh And Blood. Whilst it is a cover of track, it’s original performer, Buffy Sainte-Marie, joins Sandi to perform it as duet.

The duet sounds a little odd to begin with when both artist have their individual vocals, but as the track progresses, they actually blend and work well making it a great little version. And it manages the ‘respect to the original but make it your own’ that we like to see (well the original is 20 years old!). Also included is Sandi’s solo version of the song, which may give an indication of what the song will sound like should she be performing it on her upcoming tour.

Nice little track whichever version you happen to listen to

Rating: 4/5
