[Watch] Iron & Wine - "Long Black Veil" (Johnny Cash Cover)

Today (August 7th) a new Johnny Cash compilation has been released titled We Walk the Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash via Legacy. Earlier in the year a tribute show was filmed and is set to be broadcast on the 10th of August via PBS. From that show though, Pitchfork points towards this gorgeous cover from Iron & Wine of "Long Black Veil". See what you make of his rendition at the top of the page.

[Listen] The Walkmen Cover Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash

I'll let you into a secret. I say secret if you know me personally it isn't that much of a secret, but I'm a big Bob Dylan fan. This may only be lightly linked to Bobby D but I'm not complaining. The Walkmen recently visited KEXP and laid down some raspy covers of Johnny Cash however one of the tracks was actually a cover that Johnny had done of Bob, so you see the loose link to Mr Zimmerman. 

The tracks they performed were "Wanted Man" which was originally Dylan's along with "Mr. Lonesome" and "Darlin’ Companion". Interestingly "Darlin’ Companion" was originally recorded by the Lovin’ Spoonful. So the Johnny Cash covers session featured just two original Cash scores. Along with the aforementioned tracks The Walkmen also laid down a cover of Dominic Behan’s "The Auld Triangle". Check out all the tracks below via our good friends over at One Thirty BPM.
