Steve Gunn has covered Neil Young’s “Motion Pictures (For Carrie)” as part of the Amazon Originals Series. “‘Motion Pictures’ perfectly captures the wistful anxiety of ‘living in between’ the real world and being on the road,” says Steve. “Like Neil, I also find watching TV in hotel rooms inspiring.” You can listen to that below.

Speaking of the road, Steve has been on it for most of this year supporting his new album The Unseen Inbetween and his tour continues this summer, including a few dates with Bill MacKay, a show at Brooklyn’s Industry City on August 3 with Hand Habits (tickets), and a free solo show in Montauk on August 17 as part of Murmrr’s Summer Series. Then in the fall he’ll play solo, opening a few West Coast dates of Dinosaur Jr.’s tour.
