Suttree (feat. Cam Watson)

Recorded this back in 2022 as a gift to my partner and never uploaded it. Recent Taylor discourse reminded me that it exists, so I thought I'd share -- hope you enjoy this shoegazey rendition of one of my favorite Swift songs. It isn't the first time I've covered her, and it won't be the last.
