AUDIO: Slash and Aaron Freeman cover Bob Dylan



Slash has teamed up with Aaron Freeman (aka Gene Ween) on a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Wiggle Wiggle” as part of a new tribute album to the legendary singer.

Slash played acoustic guitar on the original version of the song, which appeared on Dylan’s 1990 release, “Under The Red Sky.”

Due March 25, “Bob Dylan In The 80s: Volume One” features covers by Built To Spill, Glen Hansard, Reggie Watts, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Lucius, Langhorne Slim, Craig Finn Of The Hold Steady, Deer Tick, Dawn Landes, Blitzen Trapper, Carl Broemel Of My Morning Jacket, Elvis Perkins and more.

“Bob Dylan In The 80s: Volume One” can be pre-ordered via the Amazon link below.

A portion of proceeds from album sales will go to the charity, Pencils of Promise, a non-profit organization that builds schools and increases educational opportunities in the developing world. The charity has built more than 150 schools in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
