Val Haller, a music-obsessed baby boomer and the founder of the Web site Valslist.com, matches tracks from her generation to those of her 20-something sons’ generation.

When the song “Take Me to the River” comes to mind I think of David Byrne and the new wave ‘80s band Talking Heads. Fact is, Al Green (and his guitarist Mabon Hodges) wrote and recorded it in 1974. Talking Heads made waves when they released it as a single in 1979. Variations ensued with covers by Levon Helm, Foghat and Annie Lennox, to name a few. A new Philly rock band that caught my attention in the summer, Song Dogs, just released their take on the song. Reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, The Band and Neil Young, the group includes six members, three of whom share the lead vocals, offering lots of variety from track to track on their debut album “Wild Country.” It seems that classic rock is in their blood: their website blog entries almost read as if they were written by a boomer, paying homage to their rock heroes from the past.

Below, after the “Take Me to the River” covers, you’ll find two original songs by Song Dogs. On Tuesday the band is releasing a new single, “Anyway.” (It can be heard on Soundcloud here.) Meanwhile, David Byrne is planning to perform at a special benefit on Nov. 25 at Terminal 5 in Manhattan for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
