Download: Grace Potter’s Golden MMJ Cover

This past Sunday night in Montreal, Vermont’s Grace Potter treated the stunned crowd at Petit Campus to a first-time played cover of My Morning Jacket’s Golden. While her band, The Nocturnals, took a pee break, Grace told the crowd that the last time she was in Montreal she had the pleasure of seeing My Morning Jacket perform. Potter went on to discuss how much she enjoyed the show and wanted to try out one of MMJ’s songs for them.

Truth be told, we were just looking for an excuse to post this picture again. But seriously, Potter’s soulful and gritty, yet disarmingly pretty and melodic delivery works really well on this fantastic cover. We also got a laugh at her Michael McDonald impression which follows Golden. But don’t take our word for it. Thanks to DaveO, you can download a MP3 of Grace Potter’s Golden and the banter before and after the track taken from taper Jahdawg’s recording over at Bt.etree. Be sure to check it out.
