I believe this may be my favourite performance of any song ever!
I've listened to this well over 100times over the years & every single time I come back to it I get a huge shiver down my spine when that opening bass riff kicks in with the twang of the lead of it.
It's a seriously beautiful thing. QOTSA for life!

This song is about the hanging tree in Ellensburg,WA where Mark Lanegan is from. There was a lynching there in the 20's where a mob stormed the Ellensburg jail and hung a farmer and his son that had committed manslaughter. I walk past that tree every day on the way to work.
