Having released her covers album Go Dig My Grave earlier this year, Norwegian artist Susanna today reveals a video featuring a bonus interpretation.
Often played as an extra track during live performances, "It's A Long Way To The Top" is a slo-mo gothic version of the AC/DC track, a long way from the Aussie rockers' original.
Susanna leads a quartet of harp, violin, accordion and voice, turning the track into a deathly folk ballad. It's a magnificent example of what an intuitive interpreter of songs the Norwegian has proven to be.
Susanna plays a show at Oslo's St.Edmund’s Church on 26 May, and will return to the UK and Ireland for shows in September.
