The whereabouts of Cher's recent recording of the Tommy James and the
Shondells song "Crimson and Clover" has been found. The track will appear on the
soundtrack to the Miramax film, A Walk on the Moon, due March 23 on Sire
Records.
The song, which was a hit for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in the '80s,
features Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman dueting with his mom and playing guitar.
The song doesn't feature Duran Duranie John Taylor, as previously reported
(allstar, Dec. 15, 1998), but it does feature guitar work by former Marilyn
Manson axeman Zim Zum.
Taylor, however, does play bass on the song "She Likes Big Words" from the
debut release -- Commencement -- of Allman's band, Deadsy, which is due in July
on Sire.
Other covers on A Walk on the Moon include Morcheeba's rendition of James'
"Crystal Blue Persuasion, Taxi's take on Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Helplessly
Hoping," the Damnations' remake of the Jaynettes' "Sally Go Round the Roses,"
Mojave 3 redoing Love's "No Matter What You Do," and country artist Mandy
Barnett's cover of Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity."
The soundtrack also features previously released tracks by Dusty Springfield,
the Grateful Dead, the Youngbloods, Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, Richie
Havens, Judy Collins, It's a Beautiful Day, and Big Brother and the Holding Co.
(Janis Joplin's first band).
The movie, set in the summer of '69 about a 30-year-old housewife's sexual
awakening, stars Diane Lane, Viggo Mortensen, Liev Schreiber, and Anna Paquin,
and opens April 2 in Los Angeles and New York.
