The ever-versitile Tash Sultana has covered “Through The Valley” originally by folk artist Shawn James. The cover comes as a part of the Playstation 4 game The Last of Us Part II, which is sung by the game’s lead character, Ellie.
If you heard the song without any context, you wouldn’t be wrong to mistake it for an original from Sultana who re-molds it into something that becomes very much her own.

In 2018 Boygenius, the indie supergroup trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus released a self-titled EP that featured half a dozen amazing collaborative folk songs, one of which was the standout “Me & My Dog.”
Webster, New York-based musician Nick Bowen has offered his own interpretation of the song with a raw and even more stripped-down cover of it. Bowen’s version feels even more vulnerable and personal, which gives it a whole different feeling, while still honoring the original. Not always an easy task.
Find Bowen’s cover of “Me & My Dog” available to listen to below.
