Over the weekend of August 2010, not long after Damien Jurado and Richard Swift first collaborated to produce Damien’s 2010 record, Saint Bartlett, the pair recorded a collection of cover songs that run the gamut from John Denver to Chubby Checker to Kraftwerk. The timing was perfect. On Other People’s Songs Volume One one can see the scaffolding of what would become a creative turning point for the pair - later seen with the release of Damien Jurado’s Maraqopa, the first record in his Maraqopa trilogy - less than two years later.
