Tackling a song from one of the all-time seminal albums would be a ballsy move. Reinterpreting the whole of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s 1970 touchstone Déjà Vu? That’s either outrageous courage or complete foolishness. One listen to how The Wandering Hearts have taken the ten songs to new places and reimagined the album over 50 years later, and it’s clear that Déjà Vu (We Have All Been Here Before) is a very bold, very new work by one of Britain’s most accomplished Americana artists.
Yet, for all the inventive flavours the trio have weaved into classic songs including “Our House”, “Woodstock” and “Teach Your Children”, and how transformative it is to hear female voices newly lead such familiar anthems like “Almost Cut My Hair” and “Helpless”, the key to The Wandering Hearts’ take on CSN&Y is how joyous their version sounds and how escapist Déjà Vu is in their hands.
Déjà Vu (We Have All Been Here Before) – retitled because, well, we have. Although never quite like this – isn’t an album out to besmirch the original, but to become a loving companion to it, without being an overly reverential copy. With a band as distinctive and exciting as The Wandering Hearts, a note-for-note facsimile was never going to be an option.
Having established themselves as one of the UK’s most innovative Americana groups The Wandering Hearts are now ready to take on such a classic, Championed by Bob Harris at Radio 2, the trio of Tara Wilcox, Chess Whiffin and AJ Dean have twice reached No 1 in Official Charts’ Americana/Country Chart and been nominated for Album Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Tom Petty, Eagles, Robert Plant and John Prine, touring the States in 2024 with Lissie.
