I liked it when it was first released. Nice video too. I remembered being a little shocked about Madonna‘s look. It seemed Rocco‘s birth had taken its toll on her.

I prefer the original version though and would have loved Madonna‘s voice on this production:

Or in a softer rendition (if Madonna ever does an acoustic set):

I was never a great fan of this song, or it's video... I guess the whole Country theme she was going for was just lost on me. Though the song is FAR from being in my least favourite Madonna song (it's more middling), it is one I always skip. Joe Henry's original version, however, is sublime.
