Given all her drama, it’s easy to forget that Courtney Love has made some great music.
Here she does an acoustic version of “Pacific Coast Highway,” a song she wrote with Billy Corgan.

Today a brand new official Bob Dylan recording went online at bobdylan.com, Dylan’s official website.
From Rolling Stone:
”This track is definitely from a forthcoming album due later on this year,” a spokesperson for the singer tells Rolling Stone. While the rep wouldn’t confirm an album title, Dylan posted an image of himself with the phrase “Shadows in the Night.” With its distinct vertical bars and crisp, minimalist text, the image appears to be in the style of graphic designer Reid Miles’ iconongraphic covers for jazz label Blue Note.
Here’s Sinatra’s version:
Listen to the song, a cover of Frank Sinatra’s 1945 hit “Full Moon and Empty Arms”:
Tonight on “The Tonight Show” Neil Young recorded Willie Nelson’s “Crazy” live in Jack White’s 1947 Voice-O-Graph recording booth.
Young also performed Ivory Joe Hunter’s “Since I Met You Baby” on piano while inside the booth.
