"Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" - Jay Reatard (Nirvana Cover) [SoundCloud Audio Stream]

Published March 12, 2014

Before his untimely passing in 2010, Jay Reatard recorded an amazing cover of "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" from Nirvana's In Utero. At the time, his website released the song as it was, but now, in anticipation of Record Store Day 2014, Robotic Empire has released a stellar remastered version slated to be on their new Nirvana tribute, In Utero: In Tribute: In Entirety.

The song sees Jay at his finest, with earnest passion leading the way. Clean guitar layered with fuzzy fury abounds throughout, making for a multi-textured song with Jay's signature sound. A wild solo cuts in and commits an aural assault before the song drops out to a simple acoustic breakdown leading into the final chorus. Listen to the tribute above.
