The Decemberists: "Crazy on You" (Heart Cover) (Live Video)

The Decemberists are out on tour behind their meh-city new album, Hazards of Love, touring with album vocalists Shara Worden and Becky Stark. Apparently on a stop recently, the Decemberists, with Worden and Stark handling vocals, covered Heart's "Crazy on You." As a pizza cook in college, I was subjected to an endless parade of classic rock radio thanks to coworkers who felt like music peaked in 1988, so I've heard more than I ever cared to of Heart (because they were essentially the only female group that got played on the station, they were played once an hour), but this cover is pretty solid, since it allows The Decemberists to get heavy. Which is kind of funny in a way, because I'm sure no one has ever said, "We cover Heart to really rock out." [You Ain't No Picasso]
