BTW Family Band just released this haunting cover of Jack Nitzche’s “Marie.” Should be noted that Nitzsche was married to Buffy Sainte-Marie. They co-wrote “Up Where We Belong,” but this haunting track seems like a better monument to their love.

This song isn’t Nitzsche’s “monument of love” to Buffy Sainte-Marie, its about the 19th century New Orleans voodoo queen Marie Laveau. Nitzsche was in to the supernatural and is said to have worn a locket from Laveau’s tomb
