Don Henley Forces Okkervil River To Take Down A Cover Song
. Who could forget the absurdity of former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, who started his Echobrain side project in 2000, getting sued by the Dallas band Echo Drain? Yes, those band names rhyme and yes, because of their similarity, representatives from Echo Drain sued Newsted. Unfortunately, Will Sheff of Austin, T.X. folk rock band Okkervil River has found himself in a similar predicament. "Don Henley made me take down a cover of 'The End of the Innocence' that I'd had on there, which I'd rewritten - Don Henley made me take it down!" Okkervil River's lead singer-songwriter Will Sheff told The Music. Sheff is referring to Golden Opportunities 3, one of three mixtapes in an ongoing covers series that Okkervil River has released for free download on its website. "I really love 'The End of the Innocence' sincerely, and it's a real dick move, man," Sheff said. "I guess he's an old fashioned guy who doesn't understand� I don't really get what his issue with it was, it's not like I was making money." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
