Built to Spill released a cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Mountain Top.” The rendition will appear on the Bosie-based band’s upcoming album, Built To Spill Plays The Songs of Daniel Johnston, featuring tunes from the legendary cult singer-songwriter and artist, due out on June 12 through Ernest Jenning Record Co.
Sadly, Johnston died in 2019 from a heart attack. BtS bandleader Doug Martsch recorded the tribute album with bassist Jason Albertini and drummer Steve Gere while the trio rehearsed as Johnston’s backing band a few years back. “It was pretty special for us,” Martsch told Rolling Stone on playing with Johnston. “It was a lot heavier than what I thought it would be,” he added.
Built To Spill’s cover of “Mountain Top” arrived with an accompanying video, originally premiered by Billboard. Watch it below:
!function ($) {
window.jb_populate_livestreams_promo = function( $element ) {
let args = $element.attr( ‘data-args’ );
// set up the AJAX post data
var data = {
‘action’: ‘jb_get_livestreams_promo’,
‘args’: args,
};
// make the AJAX $_POSTcall
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
url: ajaxurl,
data: data,
success: function( response ){
if ( true == response.success ){
$element.html(response.data).slideDown(420);
// trigger Cloudinary
var evt = window.document.createEvent(‘UIEvents’);
evt.initUIEvent(‘resize’, true, false, window, 0);
window.dispatchEvent(evt);
return;
}
},
error: function( response ){
alert( response.responseText );
}
});
};
$(function(){
$(‘#livestreams-promo-container’).each( function(){
jb_populate_livestreams_promo( $(this) );
});
});
}(window.jQuery);
