Background

Dedicated to the Ones We Love is a covers album by The Blackeyed Susans, focusing on songs that have influenced and inspired the band.[1][2] In May 2000, the group parted ways with their record company Mds after it was bought by Festival Records. They had been working on their Shangri-La album since mid-1999 but this was postponed until 2002.[3] In September–November 2000, the band recorded Dedicated to the Ones We Love at Fortissimo Studios in South Melbourne.[4][5][6] The band's pedal steel guitarist, Graham Lee produced alongside other band members.[7]

On 23 April 2001, the album was released on their own label, Teardrop, and distributed through Shock Records.[8] According to Shock Records, it paid tribute to the influences and aspirations of the band - including songs from Hollywood-period Elvis, epic Sinatra, and street level affirmations by Big Star and The Velvet Underground.[9] It was well received by the public and lauded by the critics.[10][11] A national tour followed keeping the band busy until the end of the year.[6]

Phil Kakulas, the band's double bass guitarist, described the album, "My idea of going forward is actually going backwards. I like the idea of digging deep. That's why I really liked the covers album that we did".[2] Rob Snarski, lead vocalist, chose "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" after hearing the Nina Simone version from her 1969 album, Nina Simone and Piano.[12] Lisa Miller liked their version of "State Trooper" from Bruce Springsteen's 1982 release Nebraska.[12] Snarski opined that if they were to do a second covers album, "Highway Patrolman" from the same album would be one of his choices – "What a great song about siblings, family, strength and loyalty".[12] Ed Nimmervoll recommended the album, "Imagine Nick Cave trying to emulate Frank Sinatra and you're half-way towards an impression of the Blackeyed Susans' "style"".[10] Other tracks include covers of The Crystals, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, and, most poignantly, The Triffids.[13] The Triffids were the previous band of David McComb, who had died in 1999 and was a founding member of The Blackeyed Susans.[14]
