I just got a copy of
Endless Highway, a tribute to The Band in my mailbox. I can safely say this record pretty much sucks. Covers of Band songs by Jakob Dylan? Gomez? Jack Johnson? Widespread Panic? WOOF! Richard Manuel stirs in his grave! The Band is untouchable. Unless, of course, the band doing the covering is My Morning Jacket, who turn out an un-fucking-believable cover of "It Makes No Difference". I haven't seen MMJ in a while, but it's probably a live staple by now. I have a newfound love for MMJ because of this cover. Completely mind-blowing.
Seen them tonight at the Moore, 8 p.m.
