From GloriousNoise:
Bob Dylan - “Mississippi” from from Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8, out October 7.
This excellent, sparse version of “Mississippi” is available free for a limited time, so get it while you can. It’s well worth the hassle of downloading Amazon’s MP3 store app. Your download experience should be hassle-free.

From The Onion’s Audio/Visual Club:
The A.V. Club is delighted to point you to a free download of a new live collaboration between Wilco and Fleet Foxes, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” which was recorded in Bend, OR on the recent Wilco tour. Wilco’s working with Headcount.org, “a nonpartisan, non-profit organization dedicated to voter registration and inspiring participation in democracy through the power of music.” So when you download this track, you’ll be asked to click a simple button, pledging to vote in the upcoming national election on November 4. And if you’re feeling particularly generous, Wilco’s also suggesting you make a donation to Second Harvest/Feed America.
Without further ado: Go here to download the track!

Murphy’s Midwestern supergroup will release Stay Golden, Smog on September 23. The record is made up of tracks from the band’s early years, but also features two unreleased tracks: a demo version of “Until You Came Along” and an unearthed cover of Brian Wilson’s “Love and Mercy.”

Good news on the Vic Chesnutt front. Coming off the heels of his really good release “North Star Deserter,” Mr. Chesnutt teamed up with Elf Power to record Dark Developments.
A tuneful collision of Athens institutions finds fruition this fall when Orange Twin releases Dark Developments, Vic Chesnutt’s collaboration with Elephant 6 psychsters Elf Power. As intriguing as this combination may seem for fans of either act, the final sonic results reveal a daunting sum much greater than even the involvement of such esteemed parts would imply.
