You’d better tread carefully when you cover Sam Cooke, and L.A. electro-soul collective Caught a Ghost have tackled Cooke’s 54-year-old gem “You Send Me” with proper reverence here. The brainchild of principals Jesse Nolan and Stephen Edelstein, the nine-piece band has been short on formal releases, but bit by bit (and video by video), Caught a Ghost is building quite an inventory of soulful ear candy. The video was made by Nolan, bandmate Tessa Thompson and Ryan Leone – and there’s likely more on the way during the band’s May residency.
