"This is damn well the best song I've heard in a while. I am a fan of any song that has awesome guitar playing. I love the screaming guitars and cool beat like Jimi Hendrix."
Money replaced the music

"Why doing it to the Canadian band "Guess who"? Why doing it to rockers around the world who liked the original "American woman"? Why making a 'whiter shade of pale' cover version to a classic? I tell you why. Money. Since his last good album "Circus", Lenny Kravitz looks to me like a musician that cares more about his shows in the MTV and his fashion style, then the music he does. So somewhere on the way to the bank, Kravitz lost his music. So 0 stars for "American woman", and 1 star for the whole single, because of the live version of "Fields of joy", that reminds us, that there is another Lenny Kravitz, who deals with music."

"I have to underscore the other reviewer's comment...AMERICAN WOMAN IS THE BOMB! I have even ordered the old CD track of American Woman by The Guess Who because it inspired me so when I heard it again last summer (time of the release of the Austin Power's movie).It is a classic rock-n-roll song and if you don't like this song, you just must not be a fan of that rock era! It brought back the early 70's to me, bell bottoms and army jackets. But Kravitz executed the recording of this cover with his own signature style, and the result is sexy and rockin'..."
The best
