Bingham's effort is the final contribution for the Levi's Pioneer Sessions campaign, which has asked bands and singers to release free cover songs by the musicians that inspired them. Bingham chose the Otis Redding classic, while other artists who've contributed include fellow Oscar winners The Swell Season, as well as Nas, John Legend and The Roots, Passion Pit, She and Him, The Shins, Raphael Saadiq, Dirty Projectors, Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz.
