Nicole Atkins & Mark Lanegan - November Rain
Rain
Release Date: Out Now
It is November and it is raining
so what better tune to pop on than a bleak, Country infused cover of the
Guns’n’Roses classic ‘November Rain’. Nashville chanteuse Nicole Atkins has
teamed up with the mercurial Mark Lanegan of the Screaming Trees and Queens of
the Stone Age to give the track a good going over. But this is no straight
cover, oh no. The lap steel guitar, slowed down tempo and the aforementioned
Country stylings are glorious, making the original only vaguely familiar. Then
turning this in to a dead-eyed duet puts this in a very special category along
with Johnny Cash’s ‘Hurt’ and the Kylie’n’Cave duet ‘Wild Rose’ in terms of
songs that you didn’t expect to be good but really were.
