Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Macy Gray

You probably remember Macy Gray from her hit song, “I Try” but today’s featured album is her sixth studio effort. “Covered,” which you can probably guess, is an album of all covers.

Their sound evolved a bit over the years to shed the folk rock label, but there is no denying their place in music history because of their original stuff. Well worth $5 bucks for sure, but also worth your hour today.
