Ethan and Maya Hawke have shared a cover of the Willie Nelson deep cut, “We Don’t Run,” which will appear on an upcoming compilation from the venerable reissue/archival label, Light in the Attic.
Light in the Attic & Friends — out Nov. 24 for Record Store Day Black Friday — will feature an array of artists covering various far-flung rarities Light in the Attic has released over the years. The compilation was borne out of Lita’s Cover Series, and will feature a handful of previously issued recordings, as well as nearly a dozen new ones.
