When not a Fleet Fox, Robin Pecknold is a solo White Antelope.As a reminder, we posted his take on "False Knight On The Road," which first showed up on his MySpace (along with a brief "Guitar Duet") and now as the b-side to "Mykonos." Yesterday Pecknold posted a third White Antelope track, this time a cover of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe." Another cover because, as he told Chocolate Bobka, he'll soon record a cover of Judee Sill's "Ridge Rider" for a compilation since "trying to write new stuff is hard right now for some reason." No worries: If 2008 was all about reunions, 2009 (so far) seems to be all about covers, so the man is definitely nailing the zeitgeist.
You can download this and the other two posted White Antelope tracks at Peenko. (Thanks for the heads up, McGregor.)
UPDATE: Fleet Foxes proper just did the Dylan tune on BBC 6Music's Hub Session. Here is is (thanks Peenko for the tip.)
Fleet Foxes - "It Ain't Me Babe" (Hub Session) (MP3)
Fleet Foxes - "Blue Ridge Mountains" (Hub Session) (MP3)
