Jay's voice is kinda rough on the ears there. It sounds like from that 30-second snippet, that's the only thing significantly different from the original...and it's kinda rough.
I think it sounds great, I really do. It's a song so far removed from Jay's sort of thing that it works. Vocal needs to come down a bit to suit him but a pretty good attempt.
Ok fellow fans. I put this up on Google, but only privately. It is not to be shared or posted elsewhere. It is an unlisted video since other than Son Volt (which said ok) - I can not get an official ok from MLS etc.
