King Crimson founder Robert Fripp and his wife, singer Toyah Willcox, have shared a cover of The Black Keys‘ hit ‘Lonely Boy’ â check it out below.
The cover is a part of the pairâs âSunday Lunchâ video series which was launched in 2020. The series has so far seen the couple share renditions of songs by Ramones, Nirvana, David Bowie, Metallica, Billy Idol, The Rolling Stones, Judas Priest, The Prodigy, Guns Nâ Roses, Alice Cooper and many more through Willcoxâs YouTube channel.
In recent weeks, they’ve covered âBullet With Butterfly Wingsâ by the Smashing Pumpkins and given a special Valentineâs Day performance of âToo Drunk To Fuckâ by The Dead Kennedys.
Today (February 27), Sunday Lunch headed to 2011 with a hit single from The Black Keys’ breakout album ‘El Camino’.
Watch Fripp and Willcox take on ‘Lonely Boy’ below.
In August, Willcox released her 16th studio album âPosh Popâ, which she previewed with the single âLevitateâ featuring Simon Darlow and Bobby Willcox.
Discussing the album in a recent interview with NME, Willcox explained how it came about. âWhen COVID stopped everything last year, it allowed me to concentrate on writing and recording the next album,â she said. âWe recorded in Simonâs outdoor studio with just him, my husband and I.
ââPosh Popâ was a magical experience created out of the need and ability to make contact with our fans in a heartfelt way. Also the terrifying distance between those who run the world and those on the ground inspired my writing.
She added: âWorking with Fripp in the studio, we just handed him the chord charts the day before and said: âWe want you to come in and improvise and thatâs what weâll useâ. It was spontaneous.â
Elsewhere, The Black Keys are set to head out on their 2022 âDropout Boogieâ US tour. Band of Horses will be supporting on all 32 dates of the expansive North American tour, with Ceramic Animal, Early James, and the Velveteers opening select performances.
