Now this is how you cover a song!

You've stripped it down to the truth of the song. Don't get me wrong, I like the original by Chris Isaak – with the whammy-bar guitar hook and Isaak's soaring falsetto. But those are the most memorable parts of the song. The song could be about broccoli.

You bring into focus what this song is about: Temptation, moral fragility, lust, internal conflict. And the moody atmospherics play the supporting role, rather than the lead role.

Bravo!

The original is such a classic and one that's been covered by so many. This is as good as any I've heard.. I didn't even miss the iconic guitar lines. Fantastic job !

you have no idea how many times I have had to "endure" this at open mics etc...
and it is a great song and I see why so many want to play with this, as it has touched them in a deep way and they want to express that.  I sit and listen, usually squirming and nodding along.

this cover though, ahem.... is better than the original.  I bet I heard this 40 times now.  damn man.. you are killing me...
why are you holding out on us?  post more often...what else you got?
