junebug Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey guys, I have a band that is influenced by Wilco among many other things...The other singer and myself are HUGE Wilco fans and we've been trying to decide on a Wilco cover to play.We've tried Handshake Drugs & Got You. They were good, but not "us".I had an idea the other day to do a version of Dash 7 that's a little more upbeat, with a full band. (I'd like to throw in some slide guitar as well...)It would be very different than the original but i can hear it in my head and I think it could be killer.It's a great song with great melodies to begin with.What do y'all think?

W(TF) Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Dash 7 would be pretty hard to cover....so I think you guys have moxie, if nothing else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Dash 7 would be pretty hard to cover..... i can easily imagine Johnny Cash doing that one on the american recordings albums Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have heard Built to Spill has done Muzzle of Bees on some occasions... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
merkattack Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Nickle Creek has done a couple, pretty positive Poor Places was one. Monday night Chris Thile's new band Punch Brothers played at Ravinia, and Poor Places was part of that set. He concluded the song by saying, "Now there's a band!"

gunder01 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 You guys are pretty good. I can hear lots of Being There. I'm practicing "Bob Dylan's 49th Beard" for when I start another band Hey, speaking of YHF outtakes, what about "Magazine Called Sunset"? Could work for you, IMO.

Wilco LP #7 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I really like this stuff. Would love to hear sharper recordings if they ever happen. Keep us posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, thanks so much!Yeah the rehearsal recordings on myspace don't do us any justice at all. Our priority now is to get some quality recordings together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
