“Shane” was originally written by Jesse Malin after an invitation to perform at Shane MacGowan’s 60th birthday party along side some of the biggest names in entertainment (Bono, Sinead O’Connor, Johnny Depp, Nick Cave). Several bandmates from The Pogues including original bass player Cait O’Riordan played in the house band that night. Cait and Jesse became fast friends and maintain a friendship in New York. Cait (aka “Rocky” O’Riordan”) recorded this version of “Shane” prior to his passing, in hopes at the time, of lifting his spirits. In the song, his memory lives on.
