The original song is highlighted by its use of the banjo, guitar and harmonica. While Bridgers has experimented with folk sounds in her music previously, this cover sounds more like her known style, simple guitar strumming with more significant vocals. However, Bridgers’ cover takes on a different genre than the original song. The original song had been released by husband-wife duo The Handsome Family on their 2000 album “In The Air.” Ironically enough, Bridgers’ cover features backup vocals from her fiance, actor Paul Mescal. She has previously shared covers of Tom Waits “Day After Tomorrow,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December,” Simon & Garfunkel “‘7 O’Clock News/ Silent Night” with Fiona Apple and The National‘s Matt Berninger, and McCarthy Trenching’s “Christmas Song” with Jackson Browne, with all proceeds going to organizations doing essential community work.Photo credits: Phoebe Bridgers (CC BY 2.0) by davidjleeĮach winter Phoebe Bridgers fans anticipate the artist’s release of a devastatingly beautiful Christmas cover song, and this year’s release, “So Much Wine,” marked the sixth year of this tradition. The Christmas cover has become an annual tradition for Bridgers. The track, produced by Bridgers along with longtime collaborators Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, features Marshall Vore, Harrison Whitford, Sebastian Steinberg, Paul Mescal - as well as vocals, violin and whistling by Andrew Bird. The Center is also the world’s largest LGBT nonprofit, assisting tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ people each month with vital and life-saving services, including youth and senior housing, legal assistance, and affirming, life-saving healthcare. Proceeds from the track will be going to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which is one of the few federally qualified health centers with providers who specialize in substance abuse treatment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and people living with HIV. Phoebe Bridgers has released a cover of The Handsome Family’s “So Much Wine” - an addition to her Christmas song catalog.
