Ryan Adams is a covers machine: just check out our Live Collection from last May or check out all the other covers he’s done since then. He’s been delving into the world of metal, in particular, over the last couple years, going so far as to create a satirical(?) black metal persona, Werewolph. That hasn’t stopped him from doing covers of metal songs in his typical singer-songwriter style, as well. Adams has long been a self-proclaimed Danzig fan, and if you forgot to get your mom a gift for Mother’s Day last weekend go ahead and send along this cover of “Mother” to her. Continue reading »

Yesterday we saw My Morning Jacket break out the first “Rocket Man” since 2001 as part of their five albums, five nights series at New York’s Terminal 5. Well last night they continued the run with At Dawn, the second album. As on night one, they encored with b-sides and covers from around the time (“the time” in this case being 2001).

That meant three covers. First came a nod to Jersey metal pioneers Danzig. Six songs later, the band kept it heavy for a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath.” Perhaps the best was the Rolling Stones‘ “Miss You,” Jim James’ funky falsetto leading into a twenty-minute performance of the band’s own “Cobra.” We’ve got videos of the Danzig and Stones-Cobra below (as well as the complete setlist for context). We’ll add the Sabbath video and higher-quality audio of all three when it becomes available.

Edit 10/22: Added video of “Black Sabbath.” Continue reading »
