The original's spartan Stax-y treatment is replaced by a spartan folk-dub re-rub in the vein of Saint Etienne's classic 'Tiger Bay' album. Sarah Cracknell hasn't got Amy Winehouse's voice, obviously, but the clear, simple approach works well with acoustic guitar and vibes. Sweet.

She was so talented and unique. There will never be anyone else like Amy Winehouse. Someone created a memorial page for Amy on Evertalk within Facebook. You can post in her guestbook and read her biography. Here's the link: https://apps.facebook.com/evertalk/index/memorial/amywinehouse987
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's been a year since she passed away. I miss Amy Winehouse. Thanks for the heads up on the Evertalk page Christina.
