In advance of their “Lay Down With Number 13” tour, the Black Crowes have released their cover of Bob Dylan’s "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You."

The country-rock ballad originally appeared on Dylan’s 1969 album Nashville Skyline, and has since been covered by artists including Johnny Cash, Jeff Beck, Cher and Sugarland. Now, the hit will be featured on the Black Crowes’ Wiser for the Time (Silver Arrow/Megaforce Records), set for release on March 19th.

"The Black Crowes have always covered a lot of Bob's songs," Chris Robinson, lead vocalist and guitarist, tells Rolling Stone. "In my mind, this great tapestry of music we are involved in cannot be weaved without sharing Bob's mighty threads!"

Tickets for Lay Down With Number 13, went on sale January 11. The first 15 shows – including dates in London, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, Atlanta and New York City – sold out immediately, and the band has since promised an announcement about a second batch of dates starting in May.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
