Something special for all fans of THE NATIONAL frontman Matthew Berninger and his very distinctive baritone. The indie rock hero just covered I’ll See You In My Dreams, a 1925 evergreen by ISHAM JONES and the Ray Miller Orchestra. The origin of the song makes sense since the cover was recorded for the soundtrack of Broadwalk Empire.

And since the award-winning series is set in the time the original track was released this makes sense. A nice new musical environment for the man from THE NATIONAL. The band released its new album Trouble Will Find Me back in May. Listen to his cover right here.
