[STREAM] Dr. Dog: “The Unicorn” (Shel Silverstein cover)
May 12th, 2010 by Matt
Like every child with loving parents, I grew up reading Shel Silverstein’s books. As I grew up, I found out he also had a fair amount of music under his belt, having written such classics as “Boy Named Sue” and “Cover of the Rolling Stone.” Now there’s a Shel Silverstein tribute album featuring Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket and a ton of other great musicians. Here’s a sampling of the goodness the tribute has to offer, Dr. Dog covering “the Unicorn.”
