"When Doves Cry" by The Be Good Tanyas

 


Vancouver, Canada alt country gals The Be Good Tanyas incorporate some steamy mandolin and banjo action on their cover of His Royal Badness Prince's 1984 synth pop song "When Doves Cry."

Prince says that animals strike "curious" poses, while the Tanyas say "serious" poses.  No, no... the animals only strike serious poses when they're updating the picture on their LinkedIn profile.

The Wikepedia article on the band indicates that one of the founding members formed the group after living on the road, planting trees and making music.

So, she's basically Johnny Appleseed without the Adam's apple.

For another Prince cover, Sons of Serendip's version of "Purple Rain" can be found here.
