To celebrate the fifth night of Hanukkah, Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin have paid tribute to the legendary Bob Dylan by covering his Blonde on Blonde classic “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.”
The cover is the latest in the pair’s Hanukkah Sessions series, in which Kurstin (who is Jewish) and Grohl (who is not Jewish) celebrate the Festival of Lights by covering songs by Jewish artists for each of the eight nights of Hanukkah. They kicked off the series last week with their take on the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” followed by Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen,” Drake’s “Hotline Bling” and Peaches’ “Fuck the Pain Away.”
“So now everybody must get stoned (not in the Law of Moses sense) as we put some blood on this track: Rainy Day Women 12&35 by the immortal @bobdylan!” they wrote from the Foo Fighters Twitter account.
We’ve still got a few more nights of Hanukkah (and thus, of Kurstin and Grohl covering our favorite Jewish artists) to look forward to, but in the meantime, check out their rendition of Dylan’s “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” below.
