Nashville-based Tattletale Saints’ cover of Warren Zevon’s ‘Carmelita’ rides the line between sonic bliss and emotional desperation. The warmth of the swirling electric guitar, upright bass, and gentle vocal harmonies juxtapose Zevon’s plea to be held tight while he rides a heroin high in Echo Park. A perfect song for last call in a small-town bar, drowning your solitude in the Saints’ mellow Americana melodies and twin trumpets; a subtle nod to the mariachi sound of the original recording.
