The Godfathers do an explosive cover of John Lennon’s wrenching late 1960s hit about heroin withdrawal. It really says something about the Beatles’ popularity that Lennon’s original (which is really raw stuff) made the Top 40 back in 1969. As good as Lennon’s original is, I like this version better than Lennon’s, as sacrilegious as that may sound. While the minimalism of Lennon’s original has its merits, I like the way the Godfathers fleshed it out.
