Found in: Music, News50 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

Found in: Music, ReviewsGrohl, Ledger, Vedder, Norah Jones pay tribute to Drake
Even 35 years after the death of Nick Drake, the gentle-voiced cult figure is still soothing tortured souls with his introspective folk music. The English-born musician, who died at the age of 26 of a prescription drug overdose, has inspired a generation of artists, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that a tribute album is in the works.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNorah Jones' El Madmo signs with Team Love, preps debut
One of Norah Jones’ many side gigs, El Madmo, has signed to Conor Oberst’s Team Love Records, which will release the band's self-titled debut on May 20. As we reported in our March '07 cover story on the singer, Jones regularly plays stealthy gigs with a whole slew of ensembles separate from her solo career. El Madmo, a punkish trio, has posted the cover and complete track listing of the album on its website. Jones fronts the band in fishnets, a blonde wig and painted eye makeup along with Handsome Band regular Dara Oda and Andrew Borger rounding out the... read more

Found in: Video of the DayChris Thile, Joseph Arthur, more celebrate The Living Room
“Like he’s in your living room,” is perhaps the biggest musical cliché for describing an intimate, stripped-down performance. And ever since Jennifer Gilson and husband Steve Rosenthal founded New York City’s Living Room venue on the Lower East Side in 1997, the two envisioned a nightclub offering the same comfort, social ease and artist-audience connection that a dude plucking his acoustic in a home full of close friends might provide. Beginning last night at 8 p.m. with an Elvis Costello tribute night, The Living Room is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary with two weeks of special performances from the likes... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNorah, Cat Power appear on My Blueberry Nights soundtrack
The Playlist has revealed that Norah Jones, Cat Power, and Ry Cooder will all provide music for the soundtrack to My Blueberry Nights, acclaimed Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai’s English language debut film. Jones, incidentally, also stars in the film, which follows the story of a heartbroken woman who waitresses her way across the country in search of, you know, un-heartbrokenness. Due out in January, the soundtrack, which will be released on Blue Note Records, will feature “The Story,” a song written by Jones specifically for the film. The record will also feature two cuts from Cat Power's album The... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNorah Jones covers Arcade Fire
The internet house is divided over Norah Jones covering the Arcade Fire. Is it “gentle, passionate and actually quite endearing?” Is it “sultry and seductive?” Or is it “even more boring” than the original? Running a German blog’s opinion through a free translation website leaves us with this opinion: “Entirely quiet remain: It is! Norah stands entirely behind the song, presses smuggles itself not before and the volumes another couple Countrysprenkel drunter discreet.” Couldn’t have said it better ourselves (though, if we had to try, we'd say that while the vocals have conviction, the instrumentation occasionally veers from nicely understated... read more
