We’re big fans of My Morning Jacket. A couple weeks ago we download a free “Best of Bonnaroo” compilation from Music For Action supporting new legislation for Clean Energy and Climate Change. We can get behind that. The said collection isn’t bulletproof, but does contain some nice gems, none finer than My Morning Jacket’s cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Oh! Sweet Nuthin’” culled from their legendary marathon performance at Bonnaroo 2008.

What a treasure the above video is. Alejandro Escovedo and his string quintet perform an acoustic encore of the Lou Reed/Velvet Underground classic at la Java in Paris.

Below, the same cover, captured in audio, from “House concert at Drew’s place” in Ringwood, New Jersey on September 17th, 2006.
