Oh hey, remember that one time that we saw these crazy kids in Nashville with Jerry Douglas and they covered The Boxer? I have to say, it's pretty nifty that we will have seen them cover this live and get to hear it on the album.
Nifty, indeed! Shall we revisit?
And here’s a special preview of the studio version of “The Boxer” with Mumford & Sons and Paul Simon on Jerry’s upcoming album, Traveler. If you have not yet heard this, I implore you to listen right now!
