I was prepared to have a lot of resistance to a new version of “Low Road.” 

The earlier one is my favorite of all the videos from the album due to its honesty and simplicity (not everything is sensual). And who wants to throw Benny out with the bathwater – he did a wonderful job of keeping up and in sync with Grace. Also, the setting elicits a special memory from when I was fourteen – a summer walk down a dusty country road with someone I cared about who was leaving the next day for California. We made a pact we couldn’t keep. (Heard he died out there just three weeks ago.) The acoustic version will forever be my favorite now.

But this one is amazing. Did you notice how the tambourine shaking backup singer was grinning after Grace did her little shimmy between verses (1:42)? It’s so sensual that perhaps new lyrics would be in order.
