Morrissey has shared his crooning rendition of Roy Orbison‘s ‘It’s Over’. Check it out below.

The song is taken from the former Smiths frontman’s upcoming covers album ‘California Son’, set for release on May 24. Moz’s widescreen and string-soaked cover will be among tracks by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Dionne Warwick and many more.

The full tracklist for ‘California Son’ is:

1. Morning Starship (Jobriath)
2. Don’t Interrupt The Sorrow (Joni Mitchell)
3. Only A Pawn In Their Game (Bob Dylan)
4. Suffer The Little Children (Buffy Sainte Marie)
5. Days Of Decision (Phil Ochs)
6. It’s Over (Roy Orbison)
7. Wedding Bell Blues (Laura Nyro)
8. Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets (Dionne Warwick)
9. Lady Willpower (Gary Puckett & the Union Gap)
10. When You Close Your Eyes (Carly Simon)
11. Lenny’s Tune (Tim Hardin)
12. Some Say I Got Devil (Melanie) 

This comes after Morrissey recently announced that he’d be breaking his boycott and returning to tour in Canada, after years of refusal in protest to the country’s stance on seal-clubbing.

“My decision to return to Canada after almost 15 years of protest against its savage and Neanderthal annual Baby Seal Kill is entirely because my stance was ultimately of no use and helped no one,” said Morrissey in a post on MorrisseyCentral back in September.

“My voice was drowned out by the merciless swing of spiked axes crushing the heads of babies.  On my return to Canada I feel that I can be of more use by making sizeable donations to animal protection groups in each city that I play.  Thankfully there are many such organizations in Canada: Toronto Pig Save, Ottawa Animal Save, St John’s Chicken Save, Vancouver Chicken Save, and also PETA USA and DxE / Direct Action Everywhere.”
