Under The Covers With Atlas Sound

Today's Cover comes from the ubiquitous and prolific Bradford Cox, who in addition to his stellar band Deerhunter, records under the moniker Atlas Sound. Cox's cover of Bob Dylan's "This Wheel's On Fire" (made famous by The Band) is a swampy, slowed down version of the classic tune that appears on his Bedroom Databank series.

Thursday Throwback: The Band - Up On Cripple Creek

Check out this awesome version of The Band's "Up On Cripple Creek" from their phenomenal concert film The Last Waltz. I have probably seen The Last Waltz about 150 times, and it is by far the best concert film out there (with apologies to David Byrne). Filmed on Thanksgiving Day, 1976 at San Franciso's Winterland venue, The Last Waltz chronicles The Band's last concert as a group. Directed by Martin Scorcese and featuring guest appearances by Bob Dylan, Neil Young,Van Morrison, The Staples Singers, and Eric Clapton, The Last Waltz is a must own for any music fan.
