Conor Oberst, Dawes, and Jim James Walk Into a Bar....

Dawes had one of my favorite albums of last year with Stories Don't End and while they've been quiet on the new music front this year, they've still been busy. They are currently on tour with Conor Oberst (wrapping up July 29th in Central Park), who recently stopped by NPR's World Cafe. I love a good cover, but I also love a good combination, and these two are proving to be in a well-matched groove.

On World Cafe, Oberst was silently backed by Dawes during the session, where he talks about his most recent album, Upside Down Mountain. But why stop at World Cafe? You can also check out their collabo powers on a recent session on Minneapolis' The Current (89.3 for you Minneapolis locals).

You can listen to their session on The Current here.

What's better than a good collaboration? Adding one more. Here's video of Oberst  and Dawes performing with guest Jim James at their tour stop in Lexington, KY. (via Pitchfork)
