Video: Houndmouth Cover Funkadelic & “Long Black Veil”

HoundmouthNew Albany, Indiana’s Houndmouth made their first festival rounds over the summer on the strength of an impressive debut LP, and now comes another rite of passage for the folk-rock quartet: La Blogothèque‘s ‘Take Away Show.’ Much of that series has been filmed at monuments or more shadowy corners of the site’s Paris base, but Houndmouth brought the French team back home, performing a pair of originals and notable covers at their own local quarters. Check out the cover-tune portion above, which features a rousing take on Funkadelic’s “Can You Get To That” followed by an unplugged version of country perennial “Long Black Veil,” both of which thrive on the kind of loosely-knit harmonies that made their first record such a charmer.
