Continuing “Excellent Contemporary Bands Covering Canonized Songwriters Week,” I present psychedelic drone deities, Wooden Shjips, rendering Neil Young’s “Vampire Blues” in druggy, dirt-splattered fashion. Fans of On the Beach will scarcely recognize the original within the distorted, hallucinatory coffin Wooden Shjips construct for Old Shakey’s ode to eco-conservation (no “Drill Baby Drill”). Now if they’ll only cover “Computer Age.”
