If you've been to any of Jack's shows, you very likely saw him and the band play at least one cover song. This year has been an especially adventurous year for Jack's cover song repertoire, and we think it is worth taking note! What better way to document all the excitement than getting all the covers together in one place?!
In the comments section below, please list a cover that you have seen Jack play in 2014 in any of his venue or festival shows. As comments are left, we will be compiling a Spotify playlist, then post it for your enjoyment as the list comes to completion.
Here are a few songs to get you started:
Manic Depression - Jimi Hendrix
300 Pounds of Heavenly Joy - Howlin' Wolf
Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King
Dead Dogs Two - cLOUDDEAD
Misirlou - Dick Dale
I'm in the Mood - John Lee Hooker
99 Problems - Jay Z
Message In A Bottle - The Police
Devil's Haircut - Beck
Gin and Juice - Snoop Dogg
Any others that you have seen, you are more than welcome to post below. Please read the comments before posting to avoid double-listing.
Ready? Steady? Shoot!
Sorry he said it was a cover
August 27th I know that you know – Hank Williams
@Kali Durga, I too was very moved by this mystery song, and it most certainly did have a Dylan-esque feel. So very familiar, yet can’t put my finger on it. Hands down one of the most beautiful moments at a JW show. Help us out Third Man! Much obliged.
ARLABAR: Didn’t sound like anything I’ve heard in the Paramount collection. In line for the next show the next day, a few of us wondered if it was a Dylan cover because the line about prison sounded like one of Dylan’s songs (can’t remember now which song they thought it was). But someone else said the rest of that song was different from what Jack had sung. The band was completely in synch with him, so whether it was a cover or his own, it seemed like something they’d rehearsed at least a few times. I swear, whatever it was, it was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve experienced at any of his shows I’ve been to. I was wiping away tears when he launched into Cannon after it.
I absolutely love this idea. The only thing that could make it better is an album(s) of him performing them instead.
@Kali Durga Maybe this "unforgiven " song is one of his own. ? I don’t have the Paramount collection but I’d be investigating that treasure trove for the answer
Amen Roja!
Isis – Bob Dylan (June 30th, L’Olympia).
@Kali Durga you’re right…guys remember they only had Hank’s books for that album, and they complete those songs writing the music, give Jack some credit for that…Don’t trust those set lists, some even dare to say TWS songs he sings are covers!!! TMR thank you again for the playlist.
‘Got My Mojo Working’ – Muddy Waters
