I was digging around for Emmylou Harris songs when this one randomly played. I'm glad that I sat through the slow open as it's a great cover.

Tom Jones & David Gilmour – Purple Rain
There certainly are some "wtf?" class collaborations out there. We should probably look into that.

1992
I appreciate that Sir Jones left that closing "wooooo hooooo hoo hoooooo"'s to his backup singers.
Amy Macdonald – Born to Run
Another woman singing about running? You got it.

Kim Gordon/Nirvana – Aneurysm
I haven't followed Kim Gordon very closely, but I'm intrigued by her new book. And there's no question she knows how to rock.

In this 2014 performance, she plays with members of Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Dandy Warhols – Eight Days A Week
Many thanks to the Twaynster for a great DJ week, and he only stepped on our toes once 😉 . Seriously though, good stuff, though he forgot one day: Muesday.

some naughty words in the awkward and rambling interview after the song

The White Stripes – Jolene

Free says jump, and I say how high.
Lake Street Dive – I Want You Back
2 million viewers can't be wrong! Actually, on YouTube, that's not even remotely true. However, this is actually good.
2012
VCU Pep Band – Wrecking Ball
It's the most wonderful time... of the year!
When VCU and George Mason both joined the A10, I had no idea that the conference was adding two of the best bands in basketball.

Dumpstaphunk – One Nation Under a Groove
When Sheenie and I were in NOLA for JazzFest last year, we went to this show late one night that weekend. Dumpstaphunk covered Parliament all night, then two other bands (I want to say Rebirth was one of them) covered James Brown and Michael Jackson. Sheenie and I left at 3:00am and one of the bands still hadn't even taken the stage. I guess that's New Orleans for you. At one point, I walked to the bar and bumped into John Mayer taking it all in.
