Friday, 28 January 2011 09:12

The website The Barn Presents pays tribute to Talking Heads by putting a weekly feature on their website. This week they put together a mixtape of bands from the Jamband scene covering Talking Heads songs. The selection includes recordings by Phish, Widespread panic, Mr. Blotto, New Monsoon and many others. Even Grateful Dead's version of "Take me to the River" has been thrown into the mix for obvious reasons. You can listen to the mix (or download it in it's entirely) from The Barn Presents.
