Lenny Kravitz released a remake on July 16, 1991, as the third single from his second studio album Mama Said.

[1][2] "Fields of Joy" is a cover of the 1971 song of the same name by the band New York Rock and Roll Ensemble.

[3] Slash and Kravitz were classmates at Beverly Hills High School but were not close.

"[5] Elysa Gardner of Rolling Stone stated, "After 'Fields of Joy,' an opening cut that segues from a gentle acoustic intro into a searing burst of electric guitar, much of the first half of Mama Said plays like a sampling of black pop circa, say, 1972.

"[6] Christopher A. Daniel of Albumism added, "Mama Said kicks off with 'Fields of Joy,' opening with a folky acoustic riff backing Kravitz’s psychedelic vocals resembling post-Beatles John Lennon.
