Boots of Spanish Leather (Cover of Bob Dylan)

Released December 23rd 2024 Hi everyone! Just a short message, to let you know that today we released a cover version of “Boots of Spanish Leather”, by Bob Dylan! This is Conner writing, and I mention that only because I have my own perceptions about how this song came to the band. It was through Dev, but more specifically, it came through his father, an excellent guitarist and singer himself. Ever since I’ve known Dev, he’s been playing this song, and I never tire of hearing it. He plays the complicated picking pattern with such ease, a function I suppose of it being in his life for so long. Bob Dylan is one of our all-time favourites, as a group. This song, in particular, has that sense of wistful longing that characterizes many HMR songs - listening, our hearts open up, pondering some lost love beyond the horizon… https://halfmoon.run https://halfmoonrun.bandcamp.com/music Montreal indie rockers Half Moon Run (Devon Portielje, Conner Molander, Dylan Phillips) are best known for their acrobatic, cerebral arrangements and feral three-part harmonies.
