Band Of Skulls

Band of Skulls have released their take on the Bob Dylan classic "Gotta Travel On" that was produced by Mikky Ekko as they launch a North American tour that will include some special shows.

They had this to say about the collaboration, "We love Mikky Ekko, together we ripped this song apart and put it back in our own way. The fact that we can reimagine the work of Dylan and still feel the emotion he created is testament to his genius.

"We made several versions of this tune, Mikky pushed us to make a heavier version with Julian Dorio slamming on drums. Also, the song's message rings true for all artists and musicians, you gotta travel on!"

Mikky Ekko added, "I love Band Of Skulls. They were incredibly open to exploring the song together... no rules. We all understood that 'covering' Dylan wasn't the point... so they dug into the lyrics... found what the song meant to them... and I believe we captured something really special... something raw and captivating." Listen to it here.
