Sweet Jane, by the Cowboy Junkies.
[record scratch, freeze frame]
Yup, that’s me, recording another #cover-of-a-cover to keep things femme in November. Not sure how many more I can do in a row, but this song is one I’ll take in any of its many forms. The Cowboy Junkies version was one I heard around the first record store I worked at, and looking it up just now, it’s obviously because it was on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack. (Apologies to everyone who had forgotten about that movie. I had, too!)
There was also some sort of live Velvet Underground reunion record in the 90s, I think? I think they did more of what the Cowboy Junkies cover here when they played it live, I guess. Even if you don’t get to say the hokey “and some people like us go to a Velvet Underground concert” line doing this version, it has some super nice parts. (That I messed up, but still.)
This might be a nice one to take another run at with the electric and the proper amount of reverb.
