As we’ve said repeatedly, Dave Letterman’s<\/strong> nights as a talk show host are dwindling down to when he will end his tenure on May 20th.\u00a0 Letterman<\/strong> has been stacking the deck musically, and at the end of Friday’s show Jason Isbell<\/strong>, his wife, Amanda Shires<\/strong>, and Willie Nelson’s<\/strong> harmonica player Mickey Raphael<\/strong>, joined to pay homage to one of Letterman’s<\/strong> (and our) favorite musicians, Warren Zevon<\/strong>.\u00a0 The trio performed Zevon\u2019s<\/strong> heart-rending Mutineer<\/strong><\/em>, which Zevon<\/strong> performed<\/a> on the Letterman Show<\/strong> in his final public appearance (for the entire show that night) before he was taken by cancer.\u00a0 It’s not the first time Isbell\/Shires have covered the song<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Watch below, and then afterwards watch Zevon’s<\/strong> stirring performance of the song that night on the Letterman Show<\/strong> in 2002.<\/p>\n

Grab your coat–let’s get out of here.\u00a0 Not a dry eye in the house.<\/p>\n
