Originally released in 2010 as the explosive introduction to Baker\u2019s solo career,&nbsp;<em>Got It Covered<\/em>&nbsp;has finally received its long-awaited vinyl debut \u2014 newly remastered for both vinyl and digital platforms and led by the release of the single, Baker\u2019s electrified take on&nbsp;<strong>Blondie\u2019s&nbsp;<\/strong>classic&nbsp;<strong>\u201cHanging on the Telephone.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official video for \u201cHanging on the Telephone\u201d is streaming now.<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com\/tb\/cl\/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1Nzc2NDk3MzUzNDkyMjEzLFwiclwiOjE5NTc3NjUwODcyOTQ5MzI5OX0iLCJzIjoiYWQ4OTY3ZWJjNDI0OWNlNiJ9\">Watch the video here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Produced by&nbsp;<strong>Linus of Hollywood&nbsp;<\/strong>and featuring guest appearances from&nbsp;<strong>Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo)&nbsp;<\/strong>and drummer&nbsp;<strong>Adam Marcello<\/strong>,&nbsp;<em>Got It Covered<\/em>&nbsp;captures Baker channeling the spirit of late-\u201970s and early-\u201980s new wave, punk, and power pop through seven adrenaline-charged covers from artists like<strong>&nbsp;Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, The Knack, Nick Lowe,<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>The Vapors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the original release quickly became a fan favorite among power-pop devotees, it never appeared on vinyl \u2014 until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fully remastered specifically for analog release, the new edition brings added warmth, clarity, and punch to a record that already felt tailor-made for the format. From the frantic hooks of \u201cHanging on the Telephone\u201d to the razor-sharp melodies of \u201cCruel To Be Kind\u201d and \u201cPump It Up,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Got It Covered<\/em>&nbsp;serves as both a celebration of Baker\u2019s influences and a showcase for the sound that would define his solo catalog for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baker says<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hey everyone \u2014 I\u2019m beyond excited to finally share this with you\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For the very first time ever, &#8216;Got It Covered&#8217; is coming out on VINYL! This record means a lot to me \u2014 it\u2019s my first release, and it\u2019s a tribute to the songs and artists that helped shape my sound from day one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8216;Got It Covered&#8217; is a collection of covers of classic power pop songs \u2014 the stuff that made me fall in love with melody, hooks, jangly guitars, and timeless songwriting. Getting to put my own spin on these tracks was how I found my voice early on, and that spirit is all over this record.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This re-issue is something special. We\u2019ve given it a brand new master for vinyl, handled by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering, so it sounds bigger, warmer, and better than ever on a turntable.

Whether fronting his own band, collaborating across the global power-pop underground, or releasing acclaimed solo records, he has remained one of the genre\u2019s most consistently celebrated voices \u2014 equally indebted to The Beatles, Cheap Trick, Big Star, and the melodic punch of classic punk and new wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics have spent years praising Baker\u2019s ability to bridge eras while still sounding immediate and alive.&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&nbsp;called his work \u201cPower-pop perfection,\u201d while&nbsp;<em>New Noise Magazine<\/em>&nbsp;wrote that Baker \u201cwould make Elvis Costello proud,\u201d praising his records for being \u201cbrimming with sweet harmonies, razor-sharp hooks, and addictive melodies.\u201d&nbsp;<em>RPM Online&nbsp;<\/em>went even further, declaring Baker \u201csomething of a power-pop genius.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere,&nbsp;<em>Glide Magazine<\/em>&nbsp;praised Baker\u2019s \u201cpunk-meets-Elvis Costello rocking\u201d approach and noted the \u201cheavier guitar presence that gives it more energy and intensity,\u201d while&nbsp;<em>American Songwriter<\/em>&nbsp;described his catalog as \u201ca total spoil of riches for any fan of 80s culture.\u201d&nbsp;<em>Jersey Beat&nbsp;<\/em>simply called him \u201cone of the bright lights keeping the flames of power pop lit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally released during the early days of streaming,&nbsp;<em>Got It Covered<\/em>&nbsp;now returns in a format that feels truer to its DNA: a needle-drop soundtrack for fans of skinny-tie new wave, basement-show punk, and endlessly replayable pop songwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reissue also features updated artwork, new liner notes, and remastered audio for both physical and digital formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TRACK LISTING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SIDE A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">\u201cLet Me Out\u201d\u00a0<em>(Originally by The Knack)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">\u201cHanging on the Telephone\u201d\u00a0<em>(Originally by Blondie)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">\u201cPump It Up\u201d\u00a0<em>(Originally by Elvis Costello)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">\u201cI\u2019ve Done Everything For You\u201d\u00a0<em>(Originally by Rick Springfield)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SIDE B<\/strong><br>5. \u201cIs She Really Going Out With Him?\u201d&nbsp;<em>(Originally by Joe Jackson)<\/em><br>6. \u201cCruel To Be Kind\u201d&nbsp;<em>(Originally by Nick Lowe)<\/em><br>7. \u201cTurning Japanese\u201d&nbsp;<em>(Originally by The Vapors)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Follow Kurt Baker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com\/tb\/cl\/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTk1Nzc2NDk3MzYwODMyMjUyLFwiclwiOjE5NTc3NjUwODcyOTQ5MzI5OX0iLCJzIjoiYmNkNTMwNjIzYjFjNjFkNSJ9\">Linktree<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Order the album here: Stream here:&nbsp;
