"Prisoners"
Earlier this year we got the release of The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver. The album features covers of Denver's songs from the likes of My Morning Jacket, Old Crow Medicine Show, Dave Matthews, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, and Evan Dando.
J Mascis and Sharon Van Etten do a version of Denver's 1972 song "Prisoners." Mascis has referred to the music he's tried to make over the years with Dinosaur Jr. as "ear-bleeding country," and this version of "Prisoners" comes pretty close to hitting that mark.
Yesterday the duo released a video for the song featuring Aimee Mann and Jon Wurster over at Funny or Die.
C'mon. J Mascis. Sharon Van Etten. Cover song. You knew I was gonna post this. The only question is why did it take me a day?
