Cover: Cowboy Junkies, "Sweet Jane"



If Johnny Cash's "Hurt" is the greatest cover anyone ever did of anything... and I'm not one to rank such things, but it has a strong claim to that honor, if it's possible... then here's a notable runner up. It takes the ragged, streetwise character sketch and turns it into a glossy, dreary romance, and sounds gorgeously sad.

Sweet, sweet Jane...
