That live version of “Sweet Jane” comes with an extended intro - if you happened to turn in before those chords smashed down, you might think you were listening to Yes. I knew as I scoured the bins that "Loaded" was the original home for a pair of Velvet Underground songs that had already taken on legendary status by the '80s, “Sweet Jane” and “Rock and Roll.” But the only version of “Sweet Jane” I'd heard at that point was the one off Lou Reed’s live album "Rock n’ Roll Animal," which was widely acknowledged as a way to place the irascible star back on the charts after he chose to follow up his breakthrough "Transformer" - which David Bowie and his late guitarist Mick Ronson crafted into a glitter-era sensation - with the dour, Bob Ezrin-produced "Berlin." Recorded at the Academy of Music with a shit-hot band around Christmas of ’73 and released the following February, "Rock n' Roll Animal" was indeed a big hit during an era when rock radio DJs had no fear of playing really ( really) long songs. (I know it’s difficult to imagine not being able to locate a record these days, but it was 1985.) For some reason, "Loaded" was the hardest one to track down. It was also the last Velvet Underground album I bought and listened to on my quest - 15 years after its original release, and in the flush of my teen rock-geek years - to own every note this band every recorded.
Essential and indispensable watching for Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda fans."Loaded," the Velvet Underground’s fourth album, released in November of 1970 and getting the grand box set treatment next Friday to mark its 45th anniversary, was the last to feature Lou Reed. The film was well directed by Elliot Silverstein, he will subsequently achieve great success with ¨A man called horse¨. Frank de Vol (Robert Aldrich's usual musician) soundtrack is jolly and lively. While Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye play splendidly two singing minstrels. Flippen, Arthur Hunnicut and Bruce Cabot. The support cast is awesome, thus appearing habitual Western secondaries : J. Lee Marvin won a deserved Oscar Academy Award for his double playing as a drunken, sympathetic cowboy and his twin, an odious, ominous killer, as Marvin is the best. Is this the way to make a funny movie.? You bet it is! It's a bemusing western with adjusted runtime in which there's humor, tongue-in-cheek, spoof, irony, shootouts, it's fast-moving and that's why isn't boring but funny.
Who originally sang ballad of jane movie#
A gen-u-ine movie first! A way-out whopper! A funny movie? You bet it is.! It's That Way-Out Whopper Of A Funny Western.A She-Bang To End All She-Bangs!. Later on, she engages a boozy gunfighter (wonderfully interpreted by Lee Marvin) and they 'll take on a number of villains and other nasties (led by Reginald Denny) that have a hired gun, a murderer with an artificial nose ( also played by Marvin). A good and nice movie concerning a school teacher named Cat Ballou (Jane Fonda), when the family farm is being threatened by the railroad she becomes a bandit to avenge her father's (John Marley) death, creating an outlaw group formed by a motley and butcher team ( Michael Callan, Tom Nardini and others).
