1.0 out of 5 stars Money replaced the music, September 27, 2001

Why doing it to the Canadian band "Guess who"? Why doing it to rockers around the world who liked the original "American woman"? Why making a 'whiter shade of pale' cover version to a classic? I tell you why. Money. Since his last good album "Circus", Lenny Kravitz looks to me like a musician that cares more about his shows in the MTV and his fashion style, then the music he does. So somewhere on the way to the bank, Kravitz lost his music. So 0 stars for "American woman", and 1 star for the whole single, because of the live version of "Fields of joy", that reminds us, that there is another Lenny Kravitz, who deals with music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kravitz' cover of American Woman is INCREDIBLE!, September 8, 2000

I have to underscore the other reviewer's comment...AMERICAN WOMAN IS THE BOMB! I have even ordered the old CD track of American Woman by The Guess Who because it inspired me so when I heard it again last summer (time of the release of the Austin Power's movie).

It is a classic rock-n-roll song and if you don't like this song, you just must not be a fan of that rock era! It brought back the early 70's to me, bell bottoms and army jackets. But Kravitz executed the recording of this cover with his own signature style, and the result is sexy and rockin'...

I listen to this song every day coming home from work because it's the best song ever remade and I'm glad he did a great job!
