[Download] Okkervil River - 'Golden Opportunities 2'
Almost exactly four years ago, Okkervil River gave their fans a special treat in the form of Golden Opportunities, a free, nine-track mixtape that included covers of Joni Mitchell, John Cale, and even a live version of their own “Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas.” Now, the band has returned with a follow-up to the mixtape, aptly titled Golden Opportunities 2.
This time around, the five-track mixtape includes ”a series of conceptually-related covers, this time by lesser-known musicians’ musicians such as Motown session player Ted Lucas, the 1980’s Australian band the Triffids, and the mysterious L.A. singer-songwriter Jim Sullivan, who vanished in the New Mexico desert in 1975."
