Everett True’s interview with Low’s Alan Sparhawk appears on The Vine. Robert Plant included two Low songs, “Monkey” and “Silver Rider” on his “Band of Joy” album. Of those inclusions Sparhawk says:
That’s pretty exciting. I have no idea how it came about. Near as I can tell, he heard our stuff at some point and obviously owned The Great Destroyer. I read an interview where he said he was a big fan. His versions are pretty cool. ‘Monkey’ is more of a really driving blues riff that moves along, and he ends up taking it some place really mellow, very eerie. And I think they do a phenomenal job of ‘Silver Rider’. It’s beautiful. It’s actually very similar to the way we do it, but he’s a great singer. It’d be hard to find anyone else now who’s got that much credibility. Barbra Streisand, maybe? It was a huge honour. I hope at some point we’ll see the show. He’s doing us a favour. It blew me off my seat.
