Rock version- "Wreck of the edmund fitzgerald"????

[tonemonster]

Hey, today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the radio stations are bombarding the airwaves with that tune. So my question is: there was a band about 5 or 6 years ago that did a rock version of that song, who were they? Does anyone know who did that? It was a pretty cool version actually. I just am tired of hearing the Gordon Lightfoot one, and Was gonna request the Rock version for a change.

I remember playing that song and singing it for our Guitar class, "Parents night" back in 1980 in high school.
