AC Scott steps carefully into sacred territory with a new take on The Ballad of Lucy Jordan, approaching the song with reverence rather than reinvention. First hearing the track years ago left a lasting emotional mark, and that sense of lingering emotional pull guides this stripped-back version.
Performed with only voice and piano, the cover avoids imitation, instead letting space and restraint do the heavy lifting. It’s also a subtle nod to Marianne Faithfull’s indelible interpretation, released nearly a year after her passing. Mastered by Kevin Salem, the single feels intimate and sincere, inviting listeners to rediscover the song’s original power, once again, slowly unfolding.
