Desperate Times: Songs Of the Old 97's, 2016
Written by Rhett Miller, Ken Bethea, Murry Hammond and Philip Peeples

Western Star, apparently a Baltimore-based band (I know nothing about them and information is scarce online), covers the 1995 track and rocks the heck out of it, inserting Clinton for a more timely reference in the "Reagan was king" line and adding an expletive just to let you know they really fuckin' mean it.  It is a more intense version, musically.  The drums on this are like a machine gun and the guitars sear.  Not bad!
