Many of you thought that MTV’s “Unplugged” died a slow death many moons ago. I really didn’t care for Nirvana when they first came on the scene. I resisted because I had a friend that played “Nevermind” and “Ten” back to back for one summer. It wasn’t till Nirvana did that one “Unplugged” show where they covered the Meat Puppets.

Florence + the Machine do the show plenty of justice and if you can stomach watching the show, the duet between Florence Welch and Josh Homme covering the legendary Johnny Cash’s classic, “Jackson,” will make you forget forget those negative thoughts. Watch the episode over here. I would like Josh Homme to come out with a “rebel country” album if he decides not to take another stab at Queens of the Stone Age. One of the best shows at Red Rocks this summer involves Florence with the Walkmen.
