Cover Music - James Vincent McMorrow

Irish indie artist James Vincent McMorrow experienced modest notoriety with the 2010 release of his first full length album Early in the Morning (which is great - I think I like it more than the comparable 2011 Bon Iver).

Check out his beautifully mellow cover of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love".
