Claudio Sanchez of Coheed And Cambria fame has released his new covers album “Claudio Covers”. Featuring covers he’s done over the years including new covers, this album sees Claudio reimagine tracks by the likes of The Cure, Taylor Smith, The Smiths, and more.
Speaking about his “Welcome to New York” cover, Claudio shares, “My decision to include “Welcome To New York” in this collection is two-sided. First, in 2014, my son was born in a Brooklyn Hospital (Welcome To NY, Atlas!)… and when he became aware of this Swifty classic we listened to it even more so than when it was initially released, and if you know my wife, that’s a lot.
The other side of my choice is…I love NY. When so many fled the city with uncertainty, my family made the decision to plant deeper roots here. There’s no place in the world like it and no place I’d rather spend my downtime. It’s a place that deserves all its tributes and songs. Maybe one day I’ll have one in me… until then, this will have to do.”
