I’m happy to report that the Beatles are no longer excluded.... read more

Found in: Music, ReviewsMy Morning Jacket's Jim James to Release George Harrison Covers Record as Yim Yames
In the realm of covers records, some artist pairings are less obvious than others. Remember when that young, blonde actress took on the work of the gravelly-voiced rocker? Didn't really see that one coming. There are other moments, however, when modern musicians have the sense to trace their sonic lineage to an appropriate root. Jim James covering George Harrison seems to constitute one such example. The My Morning Jacket frontman, under the moniker Yim Yames (yeah, we don't really get it either), will release the 6-song EP, Tribute To, this August.... read more

Found in: Featured Audio50 Best Bob Dylan Covers of All Time
As we began to compile this list of the 50 Best Bob Dylan Covers of All Time—asking for input from Paste readers, writers and editors—someone suggested that it might be easier to compile a list of artists who haven't covered Dylan. I've listened to literally hundreds of Dylan covers over the course of the past week, trying to weigh choices like, "Who's version of 'Tomorrow Is a Long Time' is better, Nick Drake or Nickel Creek?" But I don't mean to make it sound like grueling work. My biggest take-away from this exercise is that going to Dylan for source... read more

The best thing about giving your money away is getting a bit of it back.

As you patiently wait for that refund check to arrive, whether you're making a wish list of goodies for... read more
