Neko Case and Nick Cave Cover the Zombies for 'True Blood'

Click to listen to Neko Case and Nick Cave's 'She's Not There' from the season premier of True Blood

Neko Case and Nick Cave, two of the most charismatic and distinctive singers in rock, teamed up to record a groovy, sultry cover of the Zombies' tune "She's Not There" for True Blood. The song played over the end credits of the season premiere – also titled "She's Not There" – in which telepathic waitress/vampire magnet Sookie Stackhouse returned from a year-long visit with the faeries. Though it's great to hear Case and Cave side by side on the same track, it's even better that their collaboration – which you can stream now – is so perfectly attuned to the campy, sexy spirit of the show.

“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."
