This is all very tasteful. What’s needed is defiance, which is what Best Coast provides with “Rhiannon.” Like so many of these cover versions, it borrows Mick Fleetwood’s drum groove; the register and tone of Bethany Cosentino’s voice comes reasonably close to Stevie Nicks’s, minus some witchiness. But it uses no minor chords, which defined the song as it was. More often, we’re used to hearing somebody finding the moody shadows of a happy thing. This does the reverse, and transforms an almost official piece of American art.
