44. Jane's Addiction - Ripple

Mon May 2, 2016, 12:22 PM

May 2016

One of those covers that puts a unique stamp on the original, without going too far afield. And the little outro guitar bit is channeling Jerry perfectly.

Also, Darius Rucker's Wagon Wheel? He does a nice job with the vocals, but the arrangement and production is too "Modern Country," especially compared to the punk folkgrass vibe of the OCMS original.
