Watch Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin Cover the Velvet Underground
Dave Grohl closed out his Hanukkah Sessions with he and producer Greg Kurstin releasing a cover of the Velvet Underground s Rock and Roll.
You can watch their version of the Lou Reed-penned track from the Velvet Underground s fourth album,
In announcing the new song, Grohl wrote about what it meant for him to release a song by a different Jewish artist every night over the past eight days. As 2020 comes to a close and another Hanukkah ends (my first!), he wrote. I am reminded of the two things that have gotten me through this year: music and hope. This project, which initially began as a silly idea, grew to represent something much more important to me. It showed me that the simple gesture of spreading joy and happiness goes a long way, and as we look forward, we should all make an effort to do so, no matter how many candles are left to light on the menorah.
