It’s been a rare throwback week on The Lefort Report, featuring the imprimatur throughout of the greatest, Bob Dylan.  Between last weekend’s The New Basement Tapes’ performance, and two new, Dylan-esque songs by Bonnie “Prince” Billie and Houndmouth, it’s been a downright Robert Zimmerman week.  To finish it off, we give you below two more performances by The New Basement Tapes (Marcus Mumford, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, Elvis Costello, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, and Carolina Chocolate Drops’ Rhiannon Giddens), who were recently brought together by producer T-Bone Burnett to add musical life to a collection of previously lost, circa-Basement Tapes lyrics by Dylan.

Without further ado, first check out below their performance of Kansas City on Ellen (we love the harmonies supplied by Giddens, Goldsmith and James to go with the best use yet of Marcus Mumford on lead).  After, check out the performance (featuring Costello on lead vocal) on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon of the title track of the ensemble’s new album, Lost On The River.  Great stuff from this super-group.
