(Korova)

A rather uninspired trip through Dolly Parton’s classic tale of lost love that sees Strawberry’s Jill and Rose adding a reasonable country twang to an electro ‘I Feel Love’-ish backing doodle. An old blues giant called Blind Asa Batt onlce told me: “Boy, ain’t no use covering a song if you int gonna add nuthin’.” He was right.
