"I always wanted to do a covers album, but I didn't really feel I had the range to do the kind of album I wanted to do," Smith told Spinner. "As the project evolved, a lot of the songs on the [original] list didn't make the final cut, and a lot of songs that I didn't plan on doing wound up being the ones I chose. They're all special to me for different reasons. But Nirvana was the most emotional experience."
Below is the aptly poignant video for 'Spirit,' directed by New York City filmmaker -- and longtime friend of Smith's -- Jem Cohen.
