Yesterday’s roundup of the best cover songs from last month was already packed, and this release is fun enough to be highlighted separately, so here we go. Billy Childish (guitar, vocals), his wife Julie aka Juju (bass, vocals) and their 14 year old son (backing vocals) found themselves together with Wolf Howard (drums) at the Ranscombe Studios in Rochester, Kent (UK), where Julie proposed to record three of her favourites from The Yardbirds discography. No sooner said than done, and now their gritty versions of For Your Love, Shapes Of Things and A Certain Girl (here reworked as A Certain Boy) under the CTMF moniker are now available on shiny black vinyl. Naturally, the veterans in the group know how to make the most of it, but Julie’s lead vocals in particular leave us wanting more—these tunes are definitely among the finest covers of recent weeks.

The For Your Love EP is out now digitally via Damaged Goods Records and on 7″ vinyl through Spinout Nuggets.
