Lenny Kravitz's electrifying cover of "American Woman" was featured on his fifth studio album, 5, released in 1999. However, initially, the cover wasn't intended for the album.

It was recorded during a jam session at Abbey Road Studios in London, while Kravitz was on tour for his previous album, Believe.

The raw energy and passion captured in the session impressed everyone involved, leading to its inclusion on a bonus disc of 5.

Later, due to its immense popularity, it was moved to the main album tracklist for subsequent reissues.

Kravitz's version takes a more bluesy and rock-oriented approach compared to the original's hard rock sound.

He slows down the tempo a bit, contrasting with the Guess Who's version.

The signature guitar solo upfront is omitted. But there is a key change later in the song that features a new solo.

Lenny Kravitz's "American Woman" became a global hit, revitalizing the original song for a new generation.
