Morrissey releases “Morning Starship” cover from ‘California Son’

Today, Morrissey releases the second single off his upcoming album of 60s/70s covers, ‘California Son’ : Jobriath’s “Morning Starship.” The track, which features Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, seesMorrissey showcasing his immediately-recognizable baritone over a jangling cacophony of guitar and harpsichord, staying loyal to the original while breaking new ground.

The Britpop icon recently announced his debut Broadway run at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, where he’s set to perform a career retrospective spanning his storied career from his early days to ‘California Son’ (May 24th, BMG).
