Alison Mosshart tackles Iggy Pop's The Passenger, one of my favorite rekkids. It's from the soundtrack to Sons of Anarchy, a TV program of some renown, although I don't know why it is of some renown as I don't have TV. She's backed by the Forest Rangers, whoever they are.
You can tell I follow all of this stuff very closely. You read it here first, folks.
STB and I have a friend who once said, "I used to love The Passenger, but then I found out it was about some guy who's a passenger."
It's one of the more profound things ever said. The same guy once, in a discussion about computers' ability to understand natural language, was introduced to the concept that computers struggle with, where a human can immediately understand, two sentences like "time flies like an arrow" and "fruit flies like a banana". He contemplated this concept for a moment and said, "But...fruit DOES fly like a banana". I don't believe he's ever taken any psychedelic drugs, he just naturally thinks like that.
Here is another Alison Mosshart song from the soundtrack with the Forest Rangers - Blind Ride. It took me a little while to learn to like this one, particularly as pedal steel guitars are like nails on a chalkboard to me. I'm sure everyone else thinks they are beautiful and haunting.

Probably everyone remembers this one from last year with the same crew, same TV show - a cover of the sublime What a Wonderful World. Not a pedal steel in earshot.
