Recently, Hurray for the Riff Raff released a video of the band covering Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” a song that suits the band perfectly.

They also recorded a version of Bob Dylan’s “Seven Curses” from The Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3, which is also lovely and melancholy due to the band’s fragile treatment of it.
