Cover Of The Week: Uncle Tupelo does Creedence

This week's cover is a spot-on version of the Creedence Clearwater Revival track "Effigy", as performed by Uncle Tupelo. The version that I have was released on the fantastic No Alternative compilation in 1993. Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar sound great (as usual) singing the plethora of harmonies throughout the song, and, man, do they rock out on guitar at the end.
