The only "cover" song you will hear on More is this one. Maila gave it her own style and feel and it rocks!
Editors note: I mistakenly named this post The Fall (which will be previewed tomorrow). See what happens when i wake up too early!?!
This is the only cover on this CD. That says a lot to me! A lot of local singers or bands rely heavily on covers to suppliment their albums material but you chose just one. To me it shows you are focused on the strength of your own original material. Why Linda Rondstandt's version of When Will I be Loved?

Maila:� I've always liked this song.� I really gained affection for it in the mid-90's when the movie "8 Seconds" came out.� It was one of those movies my friends and I watched over and over again, quoted all the lines to, and bought the soundtrack for.� "When Will I Be Loved"�is in the movie and�is a great classic country song that people like to sing along with.� We also get a lot of roars when we perform it at our gigs, so I figured it would be fun to record it.�

I realize that you doing club gigs, means lots of cover tunes. Do you have any favorites and ones you wish you could do?
�
Maila: I love singing "Breathless" by�The Corrs and of course,�disco stuff.��I'm always trying to update�our material, therefore, there are lots of songs I'd like to do.� I'm really picky about the songs I perform.� It's important to me to sell the song and�be there for the audience.�Ben and I try to stay away from "B side songs."� I try to find a happy�medium between doing songs I like and doing songs that please the audience.� One of the best things Ben�has taught me as an entertainer is that it's�not all�about me.�

How do you feel about performing your own material live? I know some artist who finally are on the verge of breaking out feel a sense of freedom when finally able to do their OWN material instead of cover tunes.
Maila:� It's a great feeling to do my own material live.� Sometimes I can't believe it because I was once�so afraid of sharing my material even with�my own family.� I do feel a sense of freedom, however, I enjoy singing covers as well.� I've never felt�like a prisoner to cover tunes.� I�love music, I love singing, and love seeing people enjoy themselves.
