On Monday, March 29th, Waxahatchee celebrated the one-year anniversary of her critically acclaimed album, Saint Cloud. Along with the celebration, she released a new deluxe edition of the album, which features three covers. “Fruits of My Labor” by Lucinda Williams, “Streets of Philadelphia” by Bruce Springsteen, and “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” by Dolly Parton were covered by Waxahatchee and appeared on the deluxe edition of the album.

Waxahatchee talked about the deluxe edition and its inclusion of the covers on her Instagram, saying, “3 covers released today to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of saint cloud we tracked @lucinda_williams ‘fruits of my labor’ while in the studio making SC, & tracked the other 2 (@dollyparton’s ´light of a clear blue morning’ + @springsteen’s ‘streets of philadelphia) a few months back just for fun with @bradleywcook LIB enjoy xoxo.”
Waxahatchee took her own spin on each of the covers while staying true to each of the songs’ roots. The covers align with Saint Cloud’s mellow, country feeling mood. Waxahatchee talked about her album Saint Cloud when it was released a year ago, saying “I think all of my records are turbulent and emotional, but this one feels like it has a little dose of enlightenment. It feels a little more calm and less reckless.”
