MJ Lenderman and his band The Wind played a Friday night slot at Wilco‘s “Sky Blue Sky” festival in Mexico, and brought a few covers to his set.

Lenderman invited J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr to join him on a cover of Neil Young‘s “Lotta Love.” The song, which comes from Young’s 1978 album Comes a Time, originally ran 2:37. However, in Lenderman and Mascis’ hands, the song ran for over 8 minutes and featured both trading off leads. It is as much fun to watch as that sounds. (You can catch the whole thing below.)

Lenderman is touring alongside Waxahatchee (who joined him later on for a duet on “She’s Leaving You”) this spring. His next show is at the Ryman Auditorium, supporting Mavis Staples.
