I’ve probably listened to this seven million times but just now it just dawned on me how much I appreciate how that dude just fuckin nailed the harmony with a sledgehammer and absolutely played the ever loving shit out of that banjo.

...three years later... this is STILL my favourite cover of any song, EVER. ✨

Seriously is one of the best covers I've ever heard of any song. This is beautiful

A great cover doesn't try to sound like the original, it tries to pay homage to the song writer by infusing it with a little of your self. This is a perfect cover.

Thanks True Detective for introducing me her.

Slowed down I notice just how damn great the lyrics and imagery are in this song.

It's been 9 years since I found this gem, and this is still my favorite song ever.

It proves that a good song is good in any genre

His name is Ben Lewis and he is incredibly talented as well

Lera Lynn played this version of Wolf Like Me on her concert last December here in Europe. Easily one of my best concert moments ever. Simply amazing.

They wanted to jam out so badly towards the end. I love watching people who love what they are doing!

There is magic happening here.

So… I’m just now finding this 11 years after you posted it. Wow. What a great cover of a great song. You’ve really done it justice and something special here.

I find myself coming back to this so often. For me, TVtR's performance on letterman is the most electric rendition of wolf like me. This however, is just as good IMO, just different.

Absolute favourite Halloween/October song. A story about Werewolves and Vampires. About losing control to your inner urges in the night and transforming. Beautiful

One of the best covers I've ever heard on KZfaq.

Keep coming back a decade later! Love this cover.

A fantastic song to start with, and a masterclass in how to do a cover version. I like this as much as the original, but for a different mood.

12 years later and your cover and performance is as raw and heart wrenching as the day you both recorded it. Just beautiful.

I was reminded of this version tonight and immediately had to look it up. Still hits all these years later.

Every single word of this song speaks to my soul. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life, I could probably sit and talk about it for hours.

i can't get over this cover. its absolutely phenomenal. i've probably listened to it like 10 times a day since I found it. thank you for creating this.

My favorite cover of my favorite song about werewolves

Thisis not just an incredible cover but it hits different when delivered by a woman

god i lilke it. only thing was missing was my favorite part. 'howlin forever"

I love this cover, and the original at the same time. The original is very sensual. It makes me think of someone who is cursed, and trying to tempt someone into their lifestyle (or curse, if you want to imagine) because he is lonely. Lera Lynn's version makes me think of someone who is outcast, and trying to convince someone to share her lifestyle because it can help them both feel whole . Same lyrics, but two very different results.

Most underrated singer

Still my favorite rendition of this song! I wish it was in iTunes! I have the other version by Lera Lynn and it’s great, but I love the tempo and simplicity of this one!

damn that voice....I got cold chills...

I’ve been listening to this a couple times a day for two weeks. That almost never happens. This is just so awesome!

Still Badass.

Good lord this rules.

if the replay button could break, it'd be broken by now.

I think I've watched this a couple times a day since I first heard it, awesome

Still one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...

great cover - such a versatile song

My favorite song, I can’t help but reflect on my life when I listen to this song.. it makes me happy and sad all at the same time ....thank you for this..

I absolutely love this performance. Lera is awesome, and the guy's deep voice complements her so well (i'm sorry, i couldn't find ur name).

The best covers are the ones that are so different than the original without departing too much from who they're covering. This is perfect.

This is unreal

I CANNOT stop listening. This has been playing in my head for the last week...

This is simply amazing. The original makes one want to drive like a maniac, your cover is for sitting and soaking in.

can't explain how much this cover effects me. it's off the chain

it really never gets old.. idc how many years i have listened to this

This is still my favourite cover of any song ever.

I love this cover. Her voice is so soothing to me.

The banjo just elevates this already great song

author..author !..no disrespect...you honored a great song and words flow like fine wine or finer word...just great!!

If you miss the pace of the original, speed this up to 1.25 - sounds Rad !!!!

this is one of the very few covers of this song that doesnt make me cringe before clicking anything else on the screen... thank you both

That beautiful look they gave themselves at the end

te amo pinche Lera LLynn

i am obsessed with this rendition.

Oh wow..I thought I was introduced to her via True Detective, but I've had this favorited since 2012 haha..that's always cool to RE-stumble upon great artists.

Well that guy is just gorgeous

You have to view songs like this separately and not as covers. You have to accept that a cover is never going to be like the original. You just have to appreciate the artistic rendition of such songs. They did a great job. I love this version.

Brilliant, great cover with feeling that offers something different from the also brilliant original. Congratulations.

This is my obsession right now. Playing along with this video on my Martin. My fingers hurts so much, but my face is still smiling.

There goes my 💜

I was at the concert in İstanbul yesterday. Listened this one and the others live. I'm still on the mood, feeling the same joy. What a beautiful and special night for me.

Hotter than hell on a Sunday

The chorus harmony is goosebumps real life. Awesome cover. Looking forward to your show with Seven Handle Circus at the Buckhead Theater August 27th!

just knew them already ❤ them

My life has been much better ever since I met Lera.

I can’t get through this song without crying! It’s absolutely beautiful

Holy frack. This is amazing.

Was listening to tv on the radio and accidentally pressed this video. ...one of those happy ones :)

Fuck yes thank god I listen to 88.7 public radio here in NC otherwise I would not be hearing this girl. Incredible

Hauntingly beautiful. Well done.

This might be the best cover I have EVER heard!!!!! My Mind is Blown!! We Love You Lera!!!!!😍❤️🔥🖤🙏

Amazing! I thought to myself, there's no way this can work. Bluegrass TVOTR??? No way! Not only does it work, it was fantastic! Video of the month for me! Great job!!!

… That was beautiful.

it's gorgeous. 2019🖤🖤🖤

why has this been here for over 3 years and i just found out about it now....wasted 3 years. awesome cover. hope i can see her live one day

I've listened to this 6 times in a row this morning...

10 years too late but.. God damn, I listen to this every chance I get. I absolutely butcher singing it when I'm on long road trips, but I've never been happier to run a song, because I can't help but sing it.

I love TV on the Radio doing this song on David Letterman (WOW) but- this is a beautiful take on it - a real keeper. You both look fine - beautiful voices, great arrangement- I'm betting Gerard Smith thinks he's hearing angels sing every time this is played ;)

Never get tired of this! Love it!

I love TV On The Radio and I love Lera Lynn. Therefore , I hear this and I get to mourn

Okay you guys absolutely rocked this!!

Best damned cover ever. I am in love

Really wish this version is up on spotify

You make life worth living

Fair play lera Lynn Is a savage singer if you don't like it that's you're problem

goosebumps You did this more than justice

First heard this over a year ago and it's still one of my favorites. Sometimes just listen to it over and over again. The momentum is amazing and this guitar/strumming banjo arrangement is awesome. Thanks so much yous two!

words cannot describe

I dont know how many times i listen to this song i feels like its getting better each time god I like it

Лерка крутая)

What a brilliant choice of a song to cover,it never would have crossed my mind to go the bluegrass route with it,but it sounds perfect. You two did an amazing job on this!

just brilliant.. sounds like the decemberists wrote it

I am glad, that there are still musicians, who only need a few steel strings, a little wood and their voices to create something that good.

слушаю и балдею.

woow great!!

These two personnel are a very good combo together.

As great as any performer is, adding harmony and a banjo player takes it to another level. Can't take my ears off of what he's bringing to the mix.

Say, say, my playmate Won't you lay hands on me Mirror my malady Transfer my tragedy? Got a curse I cannot lift Shines when the sunset shifts When the moon is round and full Gotta bust that box, gotta gut that fish My mind's aflame We could jet in a stolen car But I bet we wouldn't get too far Before the transformation takes And blood lust tanks and Crave gets slaked My mind has changed My body's frame, but, God, I like it My heart's aflame My body's strained, but, God, I like it My mind has changed My body's frame, but, God, I like it My heart's aflame My body's strained, but, God, I like it Charge me your day rate I'll turn you out in kind When the moon is round and full Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mind Mongrel mind Baby doll, I recognize You're a hideous thing inside If ever there were a lucky kind, it's You, you, you, you I know it's strange another way to get to know you You'll never know unless we go so let me show you I know it's strange another way to get to know you We've got till noon; here comes the moon So let it show you Show you now Dream me, oh dreamer Down to the floor Open my hands and let them Weave onto yours Feel me, completer Down to my core Open my heart and let it Bleed onto yours Feeding on fever Down all fours Show you what all that Howl is for Hey, hey, my playmate Let me lay waste to thee Burned down their hanging trees It's hot here, hot here, hot here, hot here Got a curse we cannot lift Shines when the sunshine shifts There's a curse comes with a kiss The bite that binds the gift that gives Now that we got gone for good Writhing under your riding hood Tell your gra'ma and your mama too It's true We're howling forever

Fuck yeah, that's good.. Not only do they play and deliver it well, they picked a great one to cover. Goddamn, I'm jealous!!!

can't say how many times i've listened to this over the years, absolutely stunning

Saw her live a few days ago. Fantastic show. She's even better live and very cool in person. She was good enough to take a few minutes to talk to every fan who wanted to. First Class.
