Anais Mitchell’s 2010 collaboration with Justin Vernon, “Wait For Me,” was one of our favorite tracks of that year. And while this year’s follow-up to Hadestown is Bon Iver-less in the guest department, Vernon is back anyway to throw his support behind the record with a cover of its latest single. “Coming Down,” a gorgeous ballad and one of many standouts on Young Man In America, was interpreted by Vernon on today’s installment of Triple J radio program Like A Version. Check out a clip, in which he praises Mitchell’s new LP and performs the tune, below. We also have the track’s poignant official video, directed by Jay Sansone, who provided “old 16 mm footage that [he] discovered in some rust spattered metal canisters between tattered boxes of LP records in [his] Grandmother’s basement.”
