Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Crimson and Clover was written in 1968 by Tommy James and drummer Peter Lucia Jr., of Tommy James and the Shondells.
While there are numerous covers of the song, I particularly like Joan Jett’s 1981 version. Think of when this was recorded, then listen to the lyrics and consider who is singing… it’s wonderful!
For me, covering this song was all about hitting the groove, playing each note at the right time, with the hardest bit being the opening 4 bars.
Once again, I double tracked the bass, playing the Dingwall Combustion straight into GarageBand via a Scarlett Solo.
