Daily Download: "Woke Up This Morning," Gary Lucas and Alabama 3

This is an odd one. Gary Lucas, who was the guitarist in the last version of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and also worked closely with Jeff Buckley, is a semi-crazed, sometimes incoherently spazzed-out, but more often inspired guitarist with a particular affinity for playing slide. (He keeps a nice, erudite blog here.) On this live recording from a 2003 show in London, he invites up two members of Alabama 3 to perform their song "Woke Up This Morning" (which you may recognize as the theme song to "The Sopranos") with Lucas accompanying on National steel guitar.
