Tasmin Archer - Shipbuilding (1994)

Between her 2 first albums, Tasmin released this all-new E.P. with four Elvis Costello covers. She particularly succeeds on the title track. It peaked at #40 in the UK charts

Tasmin is from my home town of Bradford, and Pete & Bruce Thomas were in her touring band for a while!

I'd forgotten about this disc and have it on in the car. Great stuff.

I had never heard this before today....wow.
That version of "All Grown Up" is outstanding. I like the other covers too. Even her song is very good.
