Jeffrey Lewis Sings Crass

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Cover albums can be a little hit or miss. But on his latest album, anti-folk singer Jeffrey Lewis gives us a fresh take on Crass, the anarchist, so-called “peace punk” band of the 1970s and '80s. Lewis detaches Crass from its D.I.Y. punk bluster and nestles the band's social message in acoustic arrangements. This is an encore edition of Soundcheck.
