Wilco - Any Major Dude Will tell You

So I was listening to the original Steely Dan version of this song and was thinking about how much it kicked ass and how it felt like a band like Wilco could have pulled it off. Wilco has all the same pieces that the song needs to come together and they seem like they'd be down with SD. I randomly did a search for the cover that I did not know existed and voila!! it does.... Mix in an iPhoto montage of Wilco being awesome and there you have it.

@starrymooney I think sometime around 2000 for the Me, Myself and Irene soundtrack

[JonnySoonami]

you got some great photos here. i've never seen a lot of them. great cover too!

[payday0023]

Yeah, mostly google images but I dug semi-deep for them... It's a great tune too.

I heard "Outta Site" in a Sports Authority and it made me laugh. Wilco is an underrated rock and fucking roll band.

I thought It was awesome. the guys in wilco are a talented bunch

another reason to dig wilco, that was one of my favorite steely dan tunes,and they did it justice

@payday0023 when i heard this song for the first time (which was about 10 min ago ... yeah ... i know) i thought it was a grateful dead song. that band could've def pulled this song off in a quality way. i was shocked to find that it was actually done by steely dan. but i saw this youtube post and said what the hell i'll hear the wilco ver too ... and then i read your video description and thought it'd be good to add my .02.

i wish it were possible to hear the grateful dead cover this song!

Good work, Johnny.

where the fuck did obama come from - weird.

[shrew972]

thanks - had no idea!!!

[starrymooney]

they should record a new version with Nels in the mix. Would add a whole new (wicked) dimension.

I was just thinking of buying Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan. Until I saw this clip I never knew my favourite band, Wilco, covered Any Major Dude.
