The Hi, How Are You Project \u2014 the mental health nonprofit inspired by the life and legacy of Daniel Johnston<\/a> \u2014 has shared a previously unreleased clip of Johnston and Jeff Tweedy<\/a> performing \u201cWalking the Cow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The footage comes from the Chicago stop on Johnston\u2019s 2017 farewell tour. At each concert during that run, Johnston was backed by a different group that he had inspired: In New Orleans, it was the Preservation All-Stars, in Portland and Vancouver it was Built to Spill, and at the Vic Theatre in Chicago it was Jeff Tweedy and the Jeff Tweedy Band.<\/p>\n

Fan-shot footage<\/a> of Johnston and the Tweedy Band\u2019s performance of \u201cWalking the Cow\u201d has been floating around YouTube since 2017, but the new video marks the first official release. In it, Tweedy and Co. transform the original\u2019s<\/a> propulsive lo-fi chug into a steady alt-country stomp, while Johnston delivers a powerful vocal performance, pushing his voice to its upper limits without missing a note as he sings, \u201cI really don\u2019t know what I have to fear\/I really don\u2019t know what I have to care\/Oh, oh, oh\/I am walking the cow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in May, Tweedy, Sharon Van Etten, Spoon\u2019s Britt Daniel, Ben Kweller and others pledged their support to the Hi, How Are You Project\u2019s latest initiative<\/a>, which asked people help raise awareness about mental health issues by simply asking each other, \u201cHi, how are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
