Lenny Kravitz’s cover of “American Woman,” originally by The Guess Who, brings a modern, heavier edge to the classic rock anthem. Released in 1999 for the Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack, it features a thick, distorted riff in E minor, a slow, swaggering groove, and Kravitz’s smooth yet gritty vocals. The arrangement combines funk-rock attitude with sleek production, making it ideal for guitarists looking to explore dynamic riffing, power chords, and bluesy solo phrasing with a contemporary tone.
