Last year, acoustic guitar virtuoso Jesse Cook  was finally struck down with Covid-19 after doing whatever it took to avoid it. Before his brief bout, he released Love In The Time of Covid, a 14-track album that sees the 59-year-old rerecord a handful of his semi-early compositions.

The new versions aren’t terribly different from the originals, but the tempo of “Azul” has been bluesified, so if there was a little detail in the original song that you really have a craving for, you might want to let go, just in case last year’s version is the way Cook performs it for the rest of his touring career.

Tickets to see Jesse Cook play Bilheimer Capitol Theatre in Clearwater on Saturday, Jan. 13 are still available and start at $26.
