Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have contributed a dark, atmospheric track for the upcoming soundtrack to the hotly anticipated video game, Batman: Arkham City. While BRMC have had tracks featured on soundtracks before, bassist Robert Been tells Rolling Stone, "The developers of the game contacted us to see if we were interested in the project. We’ve never worked with video game developers before and figured it would be a different kind of challenge." The result is the suspenseful "Shadow on the Run."

"We did it pretty fast," Been explains. "We built it in pieces, brick by brick, like three little pigs trying to avoid being sweet-talked by the big bad wolf." The Batman: Arkham City soundtrack will be in stores on October 4th, but you can stream Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s "Shadow on the Run" for free here.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
