On the whole, a cover song rarely captures the sonic greatness of the original tune—but sometimes, such reinterpretation gives way to a whole new level of distinction. The Nashville-based label Dualtone Records, which was founded in 2001 and has since released more than 200 albums and earned four Grammy wins, took the concept to heart in its new compilation album, Amerikinda: 20 Years of Dualtone. It features Dualtone artists and alumni, who represent a who’s who of American heritage musicians, all covering one another’s songs in celebration of the beloved label that’s supported them over the years.
