Brian Fallon, the frontman of New Jersey rockers the Gaslight Anthem, teamed up with his old friend Ian Perkins to form the Horrible Crowes, a new outlet for the singer's introspective yet bombastic music. "Behold the Hurricane," a track from the band's forthcoming debut Elsie, is a richly arranged rocker that approaches the soaring intensity of Bruce Springsteen and the cinematic flair of Greg Dulli's music with the Afghan Whigs and the Twilight Singers. Elsie won't be in shops until September 16th, but you can stream the song now.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
