The Decemberists’ history with covering Grateful Dead’s “Jimmy Row” dates back quite a while now, but the band is finally ready to issue their version — along with five other tracks — as part of an official release. The Long Live the King EP will be released on November 1 and features predominantly acoustic songs recorded around the same time as this year’s The King is Dead full-length.
