With the kickoff of their upcoming run of US tour dates imminent, Unknown Mortal Orchestra is back today to share their take on Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.” This is by far one of the BEST covers of this song ever sung with the same passion and intensity that Redding had for it 1967. Recorded for BBC in their Manchester studios this past May, the cover is a natural fit for a band making modern-day soul.
