Holler down the Hollow 2014 ... all star bluegrass band featuring Chuck Prophet, covering Lou Reed's Sweet Jane at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. Video is by the event videographers; I'm just making it easier to find. (Some copyright owner flagged this, but RU-vid says it's not a "copyright strike" so I'm leaving it up. If the owner wants it removed, of course I will; I'm not monetizing it in any way.)

Great Version of a Classic Americana Song - RIP Lou Reed 🙏

This is an epic cover of "Sweet Jane"! They nailed it! They even included the "missing bridge"! Respect! 👍👍

@@mindsigh4Margo Timmins has a great voice! I hear that the Cowboy Junkies' version was in fact Reed's favorite. Robert Earl Keen borrowed Timmins to work with him on his late 90s album "Picnic".

I doubt that Lou ever imagined his songs being covered by a bluegrass style band, but these guys did it justice. Even cranky old Lou would smile at this.

@stevebrown3955 Год назад

I always got a kick out of Gary Larson’s notion that banjos and accordions were the instruments everyone took a dim view of. They are two of my favorite and these people really did a great job with this classic.

@oppothumbs1 Год назад

Neil Young's Old Man was enhanced but I get the point. Even Dueling Banjos suffered .. should have been electric guitars and harmonicas.

@surferbeto Год назад

Well bluegrass is to old timey as speed metal is to rock "n" roll. And although this version kicks it hard and is played with bluegrass instrumentation and I love it dearly,, it still doesn't really feel much like a bluegrass song. Heavy downbeat rhythm is not exactly the heart of a straight ahead bluegrass song. All that being said, I love this cover!

@MisterMikeTexas Год назад

I believe there's a lot of us that are always looking for and finding something unique, something different to listen to, something that is the only thing that will scratch a particular musical itch. I like many kinds of music from the familiar and mainstream to the off-grid. This number hits the spot, and has scratched an itch I didn't know I had.
