Johnny Marr has had quite the career. Besides being the guitarist for The Smiths, he has also been part of The The, Electronic, The Pretenders, The Cribs and Modest Mouse. He started a band with Zak Starkey (Ringo’s son) called Johnny Marr and the Healers. He has worked with Paul McCartney, Talking Heads, Beck, Pet Shop Boys and a whole slew of other artists as a session musician.
Here, he takes on the 1993 Depeche Mode hit, “I Feel You”. To some of you, that may mean nothing. To a kid raised in the ’80s, though, this is the best of both worlds.
This limited edition 7″, released for Record Store Day 2015, will also include a B-side live performance of The Smiths’ “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want”.
At first, it almost sounds like a George Thorogood tune with the drum and guitar, but then it quickly becomes the well-recognized song that I wore out on Depeche Mode’s Songs of Faith and Devotion album.
