In 2009, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, Amelia Randall Meath, and Molly Erin Sarlé came together as Mountain Man, creating powerful folk music that maximized vocal harmony to a disarming effect. A year later they released their debut album Made the Harbor. Now, a decade after that, the debut is getting a deluxe reissue with unreleased recordings, live sessions recorded at Bennington College’s Greenwall Auditorium at the project’s inception, and covers of the Mills Brothers and Arthur Russell. The deluxe packaging will also include a personal collage from the band and an essay by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy.

Today, we get their stunning take on Arthur Russell’s “Kid Like You,” which was recorded live in 2011 at Big Car Gallery in Indianapolis. “We are so excited to announce the ten year reissue of Made the Harbor!” the band said in a press statement. “We recorded it when we were smelly freaks eating kimchi and Camembert in a too small car driving around and playing campfire shows.”

Listen to their version of “Kid Like You” below and pre-order the deluxe reissue of Made the Harbor here.
