Warren Haynes And Ashes & Dust Band Play ‘Skin In Back’

As we reported, Warren Haynes kicked off a tour in support of Ashes & Dust at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City on Tuesday night which featured the debut of Ashes & Dust Band (ChessBoxer and Jeff Sipe). One of the big surprises in the setlist was the inclusion of a cover of “Skin It Back” by Little Feat.

Audio of Tuesday’s tour opener has surfaced on Etree courtesy of taper Phil Borghese which allows us to hear what the Warren Haynes Ashes & Dust Band version of “Skin It Back” is all about. Take a listen:

Haynes dedicated the rendition of “Skin It Back” to “his friend” Paul Barrere. An official recording of the show is available for purchase here.

The tour continues tonight at Newport Music Hall in Columbus. We’re giving away five pairs of tickets to shows on Warren’s current tour. Each of the five winners will get one pair of tickets to the upcoming show of the winner’s choice. Head here for our recent chat with drummer Jeff Sipe.
