When promoting Kendra Morris's debut album, Banshee, Wax Poetics Records released promo-only covers of famous songs like Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game.' Before they knew it, two songs touched two very difference audiences and went viral: Metallica's 'Ride the Lightning' and Pink Floyd's 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond. ' Deciding to release the tracks properly on a full album of only covers, Morris and producer Jeremy Page added some soul songs (like the Stax Records classic 'As Long as I've Got You' by the Charmels, and 'Walk on By,; made famous by both Dionne Warwick and Isaac Hayes), many more Classic Rock tunes ('Miss You' by the Rolling Stones, 'Space Oddity' by David Bowie, and 'Walk on the Wild Side' by Lou Reed), and some more current hits ('Karma Police' by Radiohead and 'Black Hole Sun' by Soundgarden). Review: Classic Songs with a Classic Sound - Tight, Polished Record - Cover albums, like Christmas albums, usually fall into one of two possible buckets: Bucket 1) The artist, possibly suffering from artistic-concept infertility, sees that she can stay in the public eye and make a lot of money by quickly recording existing songs (some public domain) and selling at a standard retail price. Bucket 2) The artist, humbly inspired by music of a certain time or theme, forgoes her own publishing revenue in an aim to repay (or better yet, pay-it-forward) her predecessors by using creative expression to breathe new life into the songs that can, in essence, claim responsibility for the artist's career in the first place. "Mockingbird" is clearly of the latter category. Kendra Morris is a soulful songbird whose albums sound like the score of a Quentin Tarantino film. Her vocal contemporary would probably be the likes of Nikka Costa, and the production echoes the works of producer Adrian Younge (her Wax Poetics label mate). It is a style that will translate to both adults who grew up in the 1960's and today's youth. Listeners will be familiar with her cover of Pink Floyd's "Shine On you Crazy Diamond" which was used in a trailer for the Colin Farrell film 'Dead Man Down', but is epic enough to be the theme song of the next Bond film. Most of the tracks don't stray too far from the original melody and time signature, with the exception of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" which is almost unrecognizable from the original recorded by the Scottish-twin sensation The Proclaimers. Kendra's interpretation might initially sound shocking, but is undeniably hot. The best cut is her version of Radiohead's "Karma Police" - which, when sung by Kendra, sounds both authentic and introspective (a listener unfamiliar with the original would most assuredly mistake the composition to be her own). And finally, if I could make one final recommendation --- buy this on vinyl. Review: Worth checking out - Discovered her through a TV show, and man i'm glad i did. This is a cover album full of unique spins on famous songs. Kendra has an amazing soulful voice that's a pleasure to listen to. Since i didn't see it included in the original product details, here's the tracklist. 1. Space Oddity 6. Wicked Game 11. Walk On The Wild Side 2. As Long As I've Got You 7. I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) 12. Black Hole Sun 3. Miss You 8. Karma Police 13. Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder 4. Walk On By 9. Ride The Lightning 5. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 10. Cry Me A River It's a great album, and hearing a soul/R&B take on Ride The Lightning was worth the price of the album alone. So much so that i bought her other album "Banshee" as a result. One of my better new music discoveries this year. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CMYRODS | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (45) | | Date First Available | May 5, 2013 | | Item model number | 27173739 | | Label | Wax Poetics | | Manufacturer | Wax Poetics | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2014 | | Product Dimensions | 5.51 x 4.97 x 0.32 inches; 2.72 ounces | ## Images ![Mockingbird - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gBSD0ltvL.jpg) ![Mockingbird - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615shMXsQaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Songs with a Classic Sound - Tight, Polished Record *by J***R on July 31, 2013* Cover albums, like Christmas albums, usually fall into one of two possible buckets: Bucket 1) The artist, possibly suffering from artistic-concept infertility, sees that she can stay in the public eye and make a lot of money by quickly recording existing songs (some public domain) and selling at a standard retail price.

Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Rolling Stones. Loved their music and now I love Kendra Morris doing her interpretation of them. Easy music to listen to and a good choice for background music. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/3002505-mockingbird](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/3002505-mockingbird) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
