Jim Sclavunos, the drummer from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, has shared a solo cover of Bob Dylan‘s ‘Lay Down Your Weary Tune’ with The National‘s Scott Devendorf. Check out the charity single below, along with our interview with the musician.The Bad Seeds drummer’s second solo release, following from last year’s ‘Holiday Song’ to benefit the Music Venue Trust, sees Sclavunos team up with Devendorf on bass and Dave Sherman (Valerie June, Nicole Atkins) on piano – with all money raised from the BandCamp sales going to the DEC’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal and Ellis Park Wildlife Sanctuary.
Fans have until May 13 to download the song, but it will be deleted and no longer be available.The choice of track came about after the drummer heard about the terminal illness of dedicated Bad Seeds fan Kathy McCoy, who has since passed away.“I first met Kathy with The Bad Seeds,” Sclavunos told NME. “Nick used to go wondering out into the crowd at shows and on this one occasion he dropped his watch.
Kathy retrieved it. She was a Facebook follower and she reached out to me to get it back to Nick.
That was a nice gesture from a fan – she didn’t pocket it!”He continued: “Some of our fans go to multiple gigs, and she showed up at a few, and she was on stage at one point. She also started a Facebook group called ‘Music From Big Jim S’, dedicated to stuff that I’ve worked on and participated in.”During the COVID pandemic, The Bad Seeds auctioned off hundreds of prizes to help raise money for their live crew while touring wasn’t possible.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorSome 57 years ago, Bob Dylan famously enraged folk purists by strapping on an electric guitar and performing with a rock band.What might those purists might have said upon learning that he’d sold his precious song catalog — including such timeless, era-defining classics as “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Masters of War,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Hurricane” and “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” — to a multinational conglomerate for nearly $400 million?On a purely emotional level, selling one’s songs can seem uncomfortably close to selling one’s soul: After all, what is a song if not an expression of its writer’s spirit? But in practical terms, these deals make sense for both sides.

Thania Garcia A New York appeals court has rejected the lawsuit including Bob Dylan that claimed the singer-songwriter was in debt to the estate of one-time collaborator, Jacques Levy, for a portion of his Universal catalog sale.Dylan sold the rights to his song catalog to Universal Music Publishing Group in December of 2020 for a price sources place at nearly $400 million.A month later, Claudia Levy — the widow of songwriter Jacques Levy — claimed Levy’s estate was entitled to a $7.25 million share of the UMG deal under an agreement dating back to 1975. The late Levy contributed as a co-writer of “Hurricane” and nine other songs on Dylan’s 1976 album, “Desire.” Last August, a judge ruled that Levy had signed away his co-ownership rights under an employee-for-hire situation that had granted complete ownership to Dylan; Levy asked the courts to overturn that ruling late last year, arguing that this was “the ultimate attempt to rewrite Levy out of Dylan’s history.” Dylan’s attorneys responded to the request to overturn by describing the case as an “opportunistic attempt” at an “unjustified windfall.”On Tuesday, New York’s Appellate Division affirmed the judge’s original ruling, stating: “The parties’ agreement is unambiguous, and does not entitle plaintiffs to proceeds from the sale of the copyrights of the compositions cowritten with Dylan.”Dylan’s attorney, Orin Snyder of the law firm Gibson Dunn, told Billboard: “Today’s decision puts the nail in the coffin of this opportunistic lawsuit.
