Cover songs need to be inexact.  Otherwise, you might as well listen to the original.  In other words, cover songs require some originality on the part of the covering band.  Good to say that English indie roots rockers, Gomez does this great song proud.  The album, Endless Highway, is a tribute album to The Band and the song itself, “Up On Cripple Creek“, was released by The Band in late 1969 and was written by Robbie Robertson and the late Levon Helm.  HL
