Lydia Loveless….Go Buy Her latest Record, The song is written by the late Kirsty MacColl, and was covered oh-so-well by the lovely Tracey Ullman. Lydia Loveless’ the great Somewhere Else with a straight-forward, late-’80s/early-’90s country romp through a song that is so hooky you swear you’ve heard it before. Well, you probably have, since it’s a cover of a song made famous by comedian Tracey Ullman in 1983 and originally released by Kirsty MacColl in 1979. The song’s inviting pop structure has made it attractive to cover for decades, including a well-known version by Ben Gibbard, but in the hands of Loveless, it provides a breezy, warm farewell, accomplishing the typical goal of a cover: making the song her own.
