AW is great, she did a great job.
And here is a better version of the song, that blows the Kravits version away:
The original by Bachman Turner Overdrive is the best, but I'm partial to Canadians.
You would, considering it is kinda a tribute to Canadian women.
I mixed up my Canadian bands - it was the Guess Who first, in the early 70s

Edit: The Guess Who, another great Canadian band, had the original
Sacrilege!The irony is that "American Woman" was a number one hit at the time, and continues to be. Burton Cummings wrote the song as a protest against US culture and polices, he is singing "we don't want you around no more..." I've never liked the song, then again I never liked Burton Cummings.
Later, AW.
Only interacted with you outside the bar since I'm rarely in it. I guess I can then say "you never came close to tossing me out", which is a good thing!
Sacrilege!
Who can *not* like "Undone"?
(BTW, met and got to hang-out a bit Randy Bachman while working at an AOR station in '77)
Hah!Some of his songs are great. "undun" [sic]. "these eyes", "share the land" all great works. However we see who had the real talent after he left TGW and went solo. I am sorry but "stand tall" could have been written by a 6 year old.
I maybe have been over-exposed, and a bit biased, and preffered Randy Bcahmann over Cummings.
With that the two best songs they ever did was "Sour Sweet"
And as Bachmann-Turner Overdrive the coolest song they have is "Blue Collar"
Hah!
It is spelled "Undun"!
Yeah, "Blue Collar" is probably the best thing Bachman did IMO, with fantastic lyrics that appealed to me then as a young amateur musician growing-up in a dreary blue collar neighborhood. Bachman really showed his jazz chops here, as he did to a lessor degree on Undun.
Share the Land also had some nice twin lead guitarwork.
But the sad truth is: He made a lot of uninspiring (to me) top 40 type pop too, in his BTO incarnation.
AW, you're the best. Thank you for all you have done and I hope whatever is making you so busy makes you happy, and rich.
Obligatory:
Sorry, but the Lenny version is just better than the Guess Who's.
This version is the BEST!
Well played
