While the cover of J. the Savage’s latest offering Very Same Dream recalls Milton Glaser’s iconic 1967 poster of Bob Dylan, his current single “You Knew It But You Still Had to Do It” calls to mind the raucous jangle of Dylan’s late ‘70s outings with the Rolling Thunder Revue. To ring in the first weekend of Jazz Fest, J. the Savage is making this New Orleans-flavored, folk-rock boogie available as a free download below, or stream the song right here.
