Thought I’d pass this along since Mr. Blotto is now officially in the Cover Wars Hall of Fame. Help them land a spot at Wakarusa by voting for them in this talent search survey.

Great column btw. Really enjoyed the read and just the overall ability it provides in discovering new bands. Great Stuff.

Sure, why not! Well, all the sources were pulled off the Live Music Archive, so you can grab the tracks that way of course…but I edit them down and take out the banter and crowd noise, etc. and upload them to Imeem so I can embed a playlist…

But yeah sure, click the link below for a ZIP file that has the same MP3s I uploaded to Imeem that I’ve tracked out in order and are ready for your iPod. (If there’s demand, I’ll start doing this every week)

I think what he meant was that roy orbison always turned “Leah” and “Blue Bayou” into amazing 20-minute jams whenever he played them live.

But Don’t Be Denied is off of the album ‘Time Fades Away’ and Barstool Blues is off the album ‘Zuma’…

You forgot three glaring omissions: Los Lobos’ staight-up cover of “Cinnamon Girl,” and Widespread Panic’s “Don’t Be Denied” and “Barstool Blues.” I’d take those three over anything you listed, with the only choice from that list I’d consider is Yonder Mountain’s. Plus, Max Creek also did some cool versions of “Down By The River” with Jeff Pevar over a handful of years ago.
