​Shovels & Rope (from the album Busted Juicebox Volume 3 available on Dualtone Music Group) (by Bryant Liggett)
Shovels & Rope Busted Jukebox series has always been collections that dig into the musical influences that make the duo tick. Busted Jukebox Volume 3 however comes with a twist; the record, better known as Busted Juicebox Volume 3, with Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent joined by other Indie musicians covering tunes for kids musical tastes, able to appeal to all ages. These arrangements are twisted just enough to maybe catch a young ear more-so than the original, with the common denominator of all the players is that now the bulk of them tote around miniature versions of themselves. Hearst and Trent’s vocals are always beautifully worn, aching on the traditional opener of “Hush Little Baby” that’s given a Shovels & Rope treatment and dished out warm and raw. 
Sharon Van Etten helps turn Brian Wilson’s “In My Room” into psychedelic noise-Rock and “What A Wonderful World”, with John Paul White, is an instrumentally sparse, harmony heavy, beauty. “Cry Baby” has an old-school, R&B vibe that, thanks to members of Deer Tick, is screamy and emotionally thick. REM’s “Everybody Hurts”, with T. Hardy Morris guesting, is a blast of Indie-Gospel and that spiritual vibe rolls into “Tomorrow”, a show-tune pulled from “Annie” that features powerhouse vocals from Tennessee duo, The War and Treaty. This is an on the sly kids record, and while it’s got the rough around the edges Folkiness that lives with all the Shovels & Rope releases, Busted Juicebox Volume 3 has got some soft lay-me-down-to-sleep appeal. Call it a cool kids record by, and for, the cool kids. (by Bryant Liggett)
