Solace Stream Unreleased Lynyrd Skynyrd Cover “On the Hunt”
I know that of course in addition to the original by Lynyrd Skynyrd, at one point or other Corrosion of Conformity also took on “On the Hunt” for a cover version, but this being from the era of their debut album, 2000’s Further (discussed here) makes it somewhat bittersweet. You can see the pictures of Baby Solace below, and you’ll remember the band lost their original, long-since-out-of-the-lineup-but-still-on-these-records original vocalist Jason earlier this year. Posting this news a day late because I didn’t want to read the email and have to listen to the track is like the most me-specific avoidance of emotional labor I could hope for in a given afternoon. But, well, here we are.
The 25th anniversary reissue of Further is out Aug. 22. Screw the band and the label both for making me feel feelings about it.
Not really though. They’re okay.
From the PR wire:

Not an Obsessed fan, but their cover of On the Hunt can not be touched. I cant help but compare any other version to it, they can never hold up.
