Covers recorded by Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons and The Vaccines‘ Justin Young as part of the online Daytrotter series can now be heard at this link.
Neil Young‘s ‘Like a Hurricane‘ and Bob Dylan‘s ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright‘ were both covered by the pair in the autumn when Mumford & Sons’ Stopover tour arrived in Ohio.
“It was about 2am in Troy, Ohio Saturday night when Marcus plucked Justin out of the waterpark pool on the Stopover grounds – the after party was raging ’til 4 am there – to come on up to the un-airconditioned Troy High School auditorium to record ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright’ and ‘Like A Hurricane’, learning them on the spot, while we, along with the exhausted superintendent of the school and his family looked on from the back row,” Daytrotter founder Sean Moeller has previously told NME.
“Then we all went to the after-after party, smoked cigars, and got twice as smashed at The Leaf & Vine, in a ghostly town square.”
