Marshall even employed musicians from one of the song's original recording sessions in search of sonic authenticity.

"She stuck to the basic melody of the song that I recorded, but I noticed that she added a Bonnie Raitt–style guitar lick on her version.

I've always liked that song, but I think it's great that she liked it enough to do it herself."
