Album Description
Available in:
American industrial metal band Ministry covered "Lay Lady Lay" during the eighth Bridge School Benefit charity concert in October 1994, with Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder performing backing vocals. a studio version of the song was recorded and released as a single from Ministry's sixth studio album, Filth Pig, in February 1996 and reached number 128 on the UK Singles Chart. The song also appears on the band's 2008 covers album, Cover Up. Initially, frontman Al Jourgensen wanted to cover Jimmy Webb song "Wichita Lineman", but had to choose another song after watching Urge Overkill performing it live. During the recording, Bill Rieflin was asked to perform drums, but he rejected and quit the band shortly after, with Rey Washam replacing him and thus making his debut with Ministry.
The single release included two versions of "Lay Lady Lay"; one being the standard album version and the other being a shorter edited version. In the Rolling Stone magazine's review of Filth Pig, critic Jon Wiederhorn wrote that the cover "amalgamates a deep distorted bass line, clicking electronic percussion, jangling acoustic guitars, ominous curls of feedback and Jourgensen's trademark howls." According to Jourgensen, Bob Dylan personally called him to say his version was "badass."
