we’re both just one too many mornings and a thousand miles behind
A couple nights ago The Avett Brothers appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform a cover of Bob Dylan’s “One Too Many Mornings,” banjo and all. A version they “recorded” with the late Johnny Cash (ahh, studio magic) appears on Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan, a new Amnesty International album set to be released on January 24th. Stream the track below and feel free to order the four-disc collection or digital download here.
