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.

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!

This is damn well the best song I've heard in a while. I am a fan of any song that has awesome guitar playing. I love the screaming guitars and cool beat like Jimi Hendrix.

I own every full length CD ever released by Lenny Kravitz, but I had to be talked into buying this single. Only because I assumed all of the songs sounded the same as on the original CD... but I was wrong. The songs are remixed so it adds a special twist. My Favorite is 'Thinking Of You(Hexum Dancehall Remix)' This was definately worth the money. I highly recommend it for all Lenny fans ;)

It's not that this is a bad song, it's that Lenny simply mimics the original and leaves me wondering, "Why is this version necessary?" I've always been of the opinion that a cover song should cast a new light on a song. It should reveal a different artist's interpretation by playing the song in their style. But Kravitz gives us what we've already heard. I think, perhaps, that he doesn't have a real style to bring to the song. He simply goes through the motions.

I hated this song until I heard lenny's version, All I have to say is awesome

It is an awesome song I think it is better then 5 stars.I love it

Lenny Kravitz has out done himself once again. What once was an awesome song is now even greater. He can take any song and make the hype of the song go sky high. His songs are so uplifting, it's hard not to wanna "Fly Away" when you listen to any of his great songs. He's awesome!!! Keep it rockin'. Where's the 6 star selection?

As usual, Lenny give us a really great show. Renews a bald dull song & makes it so good that you can't stay calm while listening to it. If I had 6 stars to give him, that would be my choice.

This single has to be one of my favorites since " Fly Away " i love the song and i love HiMMMMMMM great job Lenny i give you two thumbs up for bothcreativity and come backs
