Adding to the anticipation, The Parkington Sisters and Tanya Donelly of The Breeders have shared their rendition of Faithfull’s ‘This Little Bird,’ available for a sneak peek below.

“Marianne’s voice has always been one of my favorite instruments, from childhood through today, and her music and spirit have been life-long inspirations,” remarked Donnelly in a statement.

“I wanted to cover ‘This Little Bird’ for its fragile and beautiful musical arrangement and melody, and the bittersweet story the lyrics tell. A total honor to get to sing and play this lullaby, and The Parkington Sisters elevate with their vocal and string magic. We’re so grateful to be able to pay tribute to this amazing singer/songwriter and woman”.
