Wondering where people hide their brains
Heard this on the radio the other day and thought it was a quality cover, then found out who it was and still thought is was quality! It's the first single off her new album.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

I find myself agreeing with the OP. And I love the Stones' version.

Listened to a few seconds and don't like it, but then I'm not won over by many female vocalists anyway (never been quite sure why though)

A sign of a true music fan, is being able to like a song based on the fact you enjoy listening to it, not who it is.

Something I'm afraid, I'm generally too snobby to do. Although there was a Will Young song i liked a few years back. Still find it difficult to admit that to friends though.

think you need to be locked up straight away with no chance of parole

Beautiful. Reminds me of Kate Bush.

To listen to, obviously.

Excellent song - The versions by the Rolling Stones, Gram Parsons and The Sundays are great.

It pains me to say I don't dislike this one anywhere near as much as I feel I ought to!

Then you need to try harder! The voice I can cope with - it is undeniably brilliant. But the grotesque over production, the swirling strings, the saccharining of this powerful song is all much too much.. Barb Junger sings Dylan anyone?
