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."

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.
