now playing -
Q's Ultimate Songwriters covers comp. Joe's Redemption Song just perfectly segued into Josh Rouse's warm, tender, and sad (esp the whispered bits) americana re-invertion of Straight To Hell
musically along the same lines as The Velvet Underground's Sunday Morning

from the cd notes -
"recorded and broadcast live from The Village Studios in Los Angeles on 89.9 KCRW's Morning Becomes Ecletic with Nic Harcourt on 27 August, 2003" 

(several songs later) Kathryn Williams version of All Apologies sounds so beautiful and positive it makes the lyrics even sadder.

on the other hand - The Flying Burrito Brothers' Wild Horses just sounds whiny compared with the Stones'
