- We've decided to crack open up the West vault and hit you with a session captured during Sled Island 2011. Deer Tick became a bit of a fixture in these parts upon meeting them on the Saturday of last year's fest. We had the honour of releasing the very first song off of their latest release, Divine Providence and then a subsequent cover of Nirvana's Serve the Servents at the conclusion of their 'Deervana' stint. During the session, which took place at the Area, we hatched the plan to hold an after party under the sude-name, Slinky Ray and the Boneless Wonders - which albeit, never came to fruition. However, the band was so kind to put a group of us up when they performed Edmonton Folk Festival.
Carmelita, though written by Warren Zevon in 1972, was first recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter, Murray McLauchlan that same year. Zevon himself would rendition the song four years later, and since, artists like Linda Ronstadt, Dwight Yoakam and Flaco Jimenez have created popular versions.
Our session to be released next week is with Echo Park's, Gothic Tropic when they visited for Sled Island last month - so in memory of all the above, we deemed this a necessary prequel.
Good work boys, Warren Zevon RIP would be proud. Aussie Jim Down Under. I am 63 still suffering from addiction.
❤ thank you for making the best version of this song. I play it every single day and think of my soulmate. He passed away in 2020. This was one of our favorite songs.
There is such a realness to the song. Truth in the vocals. The lyrics are absolutely powerful… Of course, Warren Zevon was awesome… But Deer Tick really brought this song to life for me. I’m still listening. 12:36 AM. Sep 8 2023.
I been living this song for going on 25 years. I'm 41 😪 let this be my year I'm so trying to pull out this same rut-
Great cover
Great version of this classic Zevon song!
can't get this out of my head. love their rendition.
Best cover I've heard!
My grandfather used to sing this song with my grandma but I could never find a version that reminded me of him until this. Thank fuck ya made it, DT. Goodbye, old friend.
Man, this is a great version of this, been obsessed with this song lately, this is one of the best versions I've heard right next to GG and of course Mr Zevon
Zevon had the cock of a horse
I like this rendition. I think the rhythm allows the harmonies to be fuller.
Authentic and true to Zevon. The lead singer has a great appropriate voice
This song already hurt so deep. The rendition truly does it justice. Can't believe I had the chance to be there and missed this show. Had an audio copy of this for years, no idea until now this was recorded in Calgary at Sled Island. Absolutely gutted now. So, so close...
Deer Tick!!!
thank you for pursuing your talent, best version ever... yoakam... mad love for his version always. sampling albums on amazon. best band i've listened to since i happened across ray lamontagne years back. this music makes me feel like i did when i was young and happy in the catskill mountains. really beautiful.

unless john stepped in some
is Carmelita a street term for heroin?
Nah. Just a chick.
It's actually both .
Its both carmelita is a girl... and black tar heroin takes on a Carmel color when its cooked
If it wasn’t it sure is now! Especially after the way GG sang it with a syringe sticking out the end of his guitar!🎸💉
And when you die your bowels will relax and youll shit urself no differently than GG
Not bad, singer is trying too hard though.
If your voice isn't raspy, don't force a rasp.
Great tonally though.
Deer tick smashed this original pathetic
GG Allin cover what!
Warren Zevon cover.
GG did it better
