The album includes a mixture of original material by the band and some covers of classic Folk Rock and County songs . including the band’s most famous single, a cover of The Velvet Underground song “Sweet Jane” , based on the version found on the Live 1969 Velvet Underground album rather than the later studio version from “Loaded” . Also included is “Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis)”, which is both a cover and an original, combining a new song by the band with the pop standard “Blue Moon“.
