Psych guitar prodigy Jay Reatard died at the age of 29 in 2009. However, before he passed, he recorded a cover of Nirvana's "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" for a planned In Utero tribute album. The album has been tangled up in development for so long that In Utero: In Tribute is just now getting a release (Record Store Day, April 19).
However, it does give us all a chance to revisit an excellent cut from a skilled musician who passed too soon. And yeah, it's a bummer that there are multiple people I could be referring to.

IU:IT is getting a release courtesy of Robotic Empire and will feature Mean Jeans, Whirr, Ceremony and Circa Survive, among others.
