It's a Nissan Xterra commercial where this woman kayaks off a cliff and goes back to her Nissan on ice. The song is called "Careless Love", it's an old blues song by Lonnie Johnson, but the version in the commercial is a cover and is more upbeat, very rock-ish...

Lyrics:
You have caused me to weep
You have caused me to moan
You have caused me to lose my happy home

Any help on the coverband version?
 
Saw the commercial too - if you're sure it's Careless Love, there are a TON of versions. One of which is Lonnie's.

It was written by WC Handy.

Although - the lyrics I heard were: "You make me weak, you make me strong"

It has a Black Keys kind of garage blues vibe.

Anyone?
 
I'll throw in a guess here ...

Lyrics as I heard them ...

You made me weep, you made me moan ...

Googled those words ...

Got the following ...

Willy Dixon - "Don't You Tell Nobody"

To me, he seemed a little too old-timey to be the song we're looking for ...

Then I thought maybe some newer person/group did a cover of his song ...

So, I turned that around and searched just for that song title ... Rod Stewart popped up ...

It's definitely NOT Rod ...

Other Google possibility I got ...

Mississippi Fred McDowell - "Worried Mind" (I also saw it listed as "Worried Life Blues")

Again, to me, he seemed a little too old-timey to be the song in question ...

Did the same kind of reverse search, just for the song titles (either version) ...

There were SEVERAL people and groups who've done songs by those names ...

Maybe one of them?

If somebody has the time to dig through these songs, listen, confirm, deny, whatever ...
It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
 
I gave it a whack based on the previous post.

If I was to guess, basedon the groups/artists listed who performed "Worried Life Blues" written, by the way, by Bif Maceo Merriweather, would be:

The Chesterfield Kings' version.

Anyone else have a suggestion?

Heard the ad? It's not the Chesterfield Kings, as I thought.

:(
 
Dredging up a dead one here! HaHaHa! ... :p :lol:

Just found something over at WTC ...

I think we have a winner for the winter/ice kayaker Xterra ad music ...

Drum roll please ...

Pearlene - "You Done Told Everybody" - CD: Murder Blues & Prayer
