There's an SF writer named Nick Mamatas who has argued that all White Stripes songs are terrible unless they're covers of other people's works, or if it's someone else covering a White Stripes original. While I don't fully agree, I do tend to love any cover they do, and this is no exception.
(That said, I always vote for Dolly on this song, no matter how good the cover.)
I was never a big white stripes fan but they have some good tracks. I don't think all their songs are terrible unless they are covers but if the crux of his argument is that they are overrated, I might agree with that.
Yeah, I think he's going a little more for hyperbole and that they're overhyped; I still listen to some of their original songs when they come on.
I never really understood their massive popularity but I don't get today's music either so what do I know
Wicked cover but Dolly is the one for this song.
Very cool cover
I'm going to go with the original, good cover though
Who did it better?
Dolly Parton (original)
