My Morning Jacket - Oh! sweet nuthin'

Velvet Underground cover.

[@eddiekaya1]

The Black Crowes also did an excellent cover of this tune.

[@randyharris4610]

Best cover of Oh! Sweet Nuthin' I've ever heard. I love Lou Reed's music and these guys have done an excellent job. I first heard the cover on the 2010 concert release. Awesome.

[@cstonec]

Try the Chris Robinson cover of Oh! Sweet Nuthin". It will not disappoint!

[@sweetswing1]

My favorite song of the Velvet Underground and these guys are killing it, love em!

[@stgonzales]

Check out Black Crowes cov

[@theblahman]

Both versions were good actually, this version is a bit closer to the original, freakishly close, whilst the Black Crowes did almost a Southern Rock take on the track which the song lends itself very nicely. For me though the original is still the best, The Velvets unlocked a formula for rock n roll in the space of a few albums that changed music forever, brilliant band, their 3rd album is my favorite, great record.

By far one of the greatest covers I've ever heard. As much as I love The Velvet's version, this one is definitely on par with it. I got goosebumps when that guitar chorus began and ended.

Fantastic Tune, I'm sure it'll be done many times through through Generations!!!!

[@StrangeSonoran80]

Most folks miss the point of doing cover tunes in the first place; "Oh, it isn't an exact copy of the original so therefore it sucks," or "The guy's voice is too high." or whatever. The point of a cover is to take a tune and make it your own while hopefully giving the listener a new take on the same old same old. This one certainly delivers.

[@kalibseiferks]

It's like meeting ur first love all over again I love covers.

[@sandsoftime1954]

I'd says they did a damn fine job on this tune. They pretty much stay on track. Song with soul and sounds a little remorseful, as it was meant to be.

[@hoff0839]

A very accurate assessment for sure. And I agree, their third album is a great one. But it's kind of interesting, Lou Reed has stated that because of the absence of Cale he doesn't even really consider it a Velvet Underground album.

+Veggamattic Woa Vegga! You are so right!!! TOTAL COPY. Sweet nuthin was written 1970, while "Can't You See" was 1978!!!

[@jarredtmartin]

+Laura Wilson I think they were saying it sounded similar...

[@user-ph1oj1mm7u]

If you're interested in why that is you may want to check out a bit of music theory, specifically on chord progressions. These two songs are in different keys, but they use the same progression (different keys use different chords but the intervals between notes will be the same). So your ear is hearing the similarity in the intervals between the two. Your ears were keen to pick up on this.

I thought it was until he started singing.

[@user-gz8id4vf1i]

Actually Toy Caldwell wrote Can't You See in the late 60's when he was in Vietnam. The original Marshall Tucker Band was called The Toy Factory in the early 70's when they formed. So Can't You See might have possibly came out before Sweet Nuthin.

[@keithmoon29]

While this is a very cool band playing an amazing tune from the VU, if you really want to hear a cover of this, check out the Black Crowes version. While this cover sounds very much like the Velvets, the Crowes give it a whole new feel. Both these bands, MMJ and the Crowes follow the #1 RULE to covering an all-time classic. DO NOT even try unless you can equal or better the originol. If you dare make it your own, you better do it justice. Trust me peple, the Crowes do. OH MY do they jam it out!

[@brendanklages844]

phish did a great cover of this as well

[@theblahman]

true maybe, but in away I dont consider the first one a Velvet album because of the inclusion of Nico and Warhol interfering, so I guess WL/WH is the only proper Velvet album. Mo was absent for Loaded and pretty much all the original line-up from Squeeze which is definitely not a VU album despite the name

[@danieltobias2012]

love the original....but the Crowes is sooo goood.....Luther Dickinson on slide is just completely badass....North Mississippi Allstars, baby....RL Burnside and Jr. Kimbrough......RIP gentlemen.....kick ass tunes....

[@Stanislaven100]

+Justyn Nelson I don't like catching for small things in a comment and debating it immediately, but I don't think actually that saying that the guy has the best voice in the world is gay. I think you're just enjoying his voice and the song, and that's perfectly straight of you, just like sharing emotions with other people or loving your fellas, and stuff like that. From what I've seen so far, I'd say... That the only gay thing I've seen in gay people, is a fact that they're attracted to men. :) And I guess, yes, they are probably opened to their emotional side more often than straight man, cause they don't have that pressure to be a macho dude and attract chicks with an alpha male attitude... But nothing really gay about enjoying a man's voice for sure. :)

[@kc2dtp]

That is a lovely cover with a guitar solo on fire. But a touch too sweet for my taste.
