This is one of my go to songs whenever I'm in a band and need to fill time, the original version thatis. Just the other night I was playing a show and the lead singer broke a string on his guitar. While he was replacing that, I sang this song with the rest of the band. We'd never performed it together before, but we'd each done it in other groups. It all came together pretty well.
While I grew up listening to the Yoakam version, I do like this kind of laid back cover. I particularly like what the bass player has done with the bass line, changing it enough to be different but not so much it's unrecognizable. Williams' changes to the melody are nice, too, and making it a little more sultry really works for her.
