It's Sweet Jane Week (Part IV): Special "People Who Died" Edition

From 1983, and his album I Write Your Name, please enjoy the late Jim Carroll and his cover of some song that seems to be ringing a bell around here.



Memo to Mott the Hoople: this is how it's done, BTW.

I should add -- wait till you hear the version I'm posting tomorrow.

Let's just say that if it doesn't blow your mind you need to have it looked at.

Carroll gets the attitude down pat. Agree, great version. Still like that Live in Italy one better though...

Hands down the best song on an otherwise disappointing LP. Oy, that 1983 production.

I am not a big fan of his vocals, but I love the bass part in this version.

I always like the Hoople version, mostly for Ian Hunter's vocal.

Best version so far this week. Great vocals and crunchy guitar. I like the swap of name "riding in a Stutz Bearcat, Lou".
