Courtney Barnett and Vagabon team up for cover of ‘Reason to Believe’
Courtney Barnett for a Karen Dalton-inspired cover of Tim Hardin’s 1965 classic ‘Reason to Believe’.In a press statement, Vagabon – real name Laetitia Tamko – said she had recently discovered the Karen Dalton take on ‘Reason to Believe’, and after hearing it, she became “obsessed”.“The decision to have Courtney sing it with me came after we performed it together live at the Palace Theatre in Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day 2020, a month before lockdown,” Vagabon explained.“It was fresh in our brains then so not long after the show, CB [Barnett] came over and we recorded her parts. Oliver Hill plays slide guitar on it.”Barnett echoed Vagabon’s sentiments, adding, “I’m a huge fan of Vagabon and Karen Dalton so this was a dream.
