“Crimson and Clover” is Joan Jett & the Blackhearts’ hard-hitting 1982 cover of the 1968 psychedelic rock classic by Tommy James and the Shondells. First included on their breakthrough album I Love Rock ’n Roll (1981), it was released as a single the following year and became a major hit, reaching the Top 10 in multiple countries.
Jett’s version amps up the original’s dreamy vibe with raw guitars, driving rhythm, and her unmistakable gritty vocals, transforming it into an iconic anthem of early-’80s rock. A staple of her live performances, it remains one of her most enduring tracks.
