Yo La Tengo Preview New EP With Byrds Cover, 'Wasn't Born to Follow'
“I’m sure I heard the Byrds’ song for the first time when my mom took me and a bunch of my friends to see” Ira Kaplan said in a statement. “One kid was forbidden by his parents from joining us, as was my younger brother. My dad took my brother to seeinstead, and I’m guessing my friend stayed home and did homework.”
The six-song EP was made in collaboration with artist Yoshimoto Nara, who designed the cover art. It includes a cover of Bob Dylan’strack “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry,” recorded by producer Roger Moutenot while the band recorded 2000’s. “Yes, we’re as dumbfounded as you are, if not more so,” Kaplan said. “After a lot of sleuthing, we came up with this.”
The rest of the EP consists of a rendition of the Delmore Brothers’ “Blues Stay Away,” Ronnie Lane’s “Roll on Babe,” and the Flying Machine’s “Smile a Little Smile for Me.” The band recorded one original for the EP, “Bleeding.”
