      I agree with you for sure but am also reminded that most of their stuff was written first on acoustic guitars as far as I know. That one is a big departure for sure though. I went back and listened to the original just now and was blown away by the intro. These two compliment each other nicely.

      @@tommydacomicguy741 I couldn't recall him really singing in a high voice so I watched a handful of songs on YT and did find some. Prince was very different from Dallas even if they both sing in a high voice for at least some of their songs. Prince was incredibly talented from writing most, if not all, of his own music, to playing any instrument he wanted. From singing as high or low he wanted to "owning" his unique personal style. I would even go as far as to say "there'll never be another guy who can be as unique and talented as Prince." Prince has credibility that Dallas will never match and his personality was bigger than he was. He spent years building his brand and nobody can question the level that he attained. He's not just some guy who totally castrated someone else's song where someone else built their brand on a low, raspy voice. That voice spawned many imitators and that voice didn't "puss up" someone else's song. That voice developed his own style and has many followers who are fiercely loyal.
      Dallas is no Prince.

    I love how this cover is telling the rest of the world what most Canadians already knew- that Dallas Green (aka City and Colour) is one of the most talented artists ever with the voice of a straight up angel. And knowing what this band means/has always meant to him (he talks about it frequently) makes this performance even that much more special.

    When I die
    Was it something I said, held against me?

    Did she call my name?

    When I die

    She don't want me to cry
    Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me?

    Dallas Green (City and Colour) is a hometown hero in Canada. Really glad they got him involved in this. Fitting to have him, since Alice In Chains is THE REASON he does what he does.
    In Mr. Green's own words:
    "Anyone that knows me understands how incredibly deep my love for Alice In Chains goes. I can point to many musical mile markers that have helped me navigate this incredible journey that I’ve been on since I first picked up a guitar, but if you want to get to the bottom of why I make music the way that I do, it is this band.
    "Dirt was the first record I ever bought with my own money, on my birthday, September 29th, 1992 at the Lincoln Mall in St. Catharines, Ontario."
    Also, cool how he changed it up by doing it all in 4/4 vs the 6/4 used in most of the original. All in all, amazing cover from a Canadian legend. Check out his releases as City and Colour and with Alexisonfire if you haven't already.
