Some voices go together like a horse and carriage. These two go together like a horse and cabbage :(

I like the Springsteen version, I like Aimee and Michael as solo artists, but this doesn't quite work. The voices really don't blend together very well. The music is nice, though.

Very diffecult to mimic a masterpiece, so kudos to those who try
This is a good effort, fun album
Still at the end of every hard earned day, people find some reason to belive.

Thanks for the anti-recommendation. I'll beware of it.  |

I'm not generally a fan of Aimee Mann but this and that Static on the Radio song really works for me.

Not my favorite version of this song, but it's a great song and their take on it is growing on me.

Well, I'll give this a solid "4" because for once Aimee isn't singing about some asshole that screwed her over and dumped her. So I guess the trend is positive.

This song, however, could do something more to give me reason to believe I could rate it higher than a 6.  Great story. I gotta agree with you about this version--Bruce's original is more wistful and appealing. It'd be nice to hear more duets from Aimee Mann and Michael Penn, though. |

Probably because holy roller music has had a huge impact on the tradition of American music. Even artists who would not call themselves religious are often influenced by it just because it was so pervasive.
Just as an FYI: The Holy Rollers were actually a clearly identifiable group. This music fits more into Folk Music, or the music that common people sung on the front porch and possibly at tent revivals. I don't know that the Holy Rollers even had much music or if they did, how well they could sing while rolling on the floor which is where the term originated. |

Very nice. Such as might be as no surprise given their talent and abilities, but certainly always appreciated. Music itself having a spiritual quality to so many of us, you just can imagine that which Aimee and Michael experience through their superlative singing and song-writing.

I'm 'just' a Christian, but love the song and your comments! |
