I'm a lifelong Bob Mould fan, probably starting with "Zen Arcade" and right up through present day. His solo band is monstrous, and in 2015, I took my two kids to see their first real concerts. It was a back-to-back weekend with G. Love & Special Sauce and a Bob Mould solo electric gig for about 100 people. We were right up front, and at the end of the show, Bob hung out with the crowd and high-fived my (then) 10yo daughter on stage. 
And this Ryan Adams cover of Mould's "Black Sheets Of Rain" is amazing! Go to 2:25 to get past his tuning and talking.

Hey, wow, thanks for the LOVE! Glad you got a kick out of them.
I think the Judybats had a couple of great albums, which I still listen to (obviously), but I get that they are a bit obscure for most. Glad someone remembers them!
And that Ryan Adams version was super. Such a different arrangement with a real focus on the lyrics which I’ll admit I seem to gloss over when listening to the original. Fun to see how others (with a ton of talent) can create such original interpretations of songs I love.
And what a way to introduce your kids to concerts! I’ve see Bob a few times and there’s always a ton of energy. I’m sure it was a blast.
Thanks for the comments and for sharing your story (and the Ryan adams
link).
Cheers,
Dave
