The Gaslight Anthem frequently rework other people’s material, including songs by Springsteen, Nirvana, The Who, The Band, and even Kelly Clarkson. But if you told me the New Jersey rockers would be covering Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” for an upcoming single, I’d tell you that’s as crazy as some dude jumping from a balloon 20 miles up in the sky and survivng. Well, since one of these these things has now happened, here are the details for the other: The Gaslight Anthem’s version of “Skinny Love” will be released alongside two previously unheard originals, “Hold You Up” and “Misery”, for Black Friday Record Store Day (November 23rd), as NME reports.

Below, you can watch The Gaslight Anthem cover Pearl Jam’s “State of Love and Trust”.
