Amy Winehouse has hooked up with Pete Doherty and co for a new track.

The recording took place in Wiltshire, close to the spot where the Babyshambles frontman went to rehab recently.

Guitarist Mick Whitnall explained the band had been incredibly impressed with the Back to Black singer's work.

He said: "She plays better than James Brown playing acoustic guitar. I've never met a girl who plays like that, let alone a man."

Describing the song, Whitnall said: "It's a ska type track. Amy's playing guitar on it and singing as well. I'm assuming that (Pete and Amy) have been jamming in Wiltshire where Amy's been staying with him along with his new fiancée from what I could gather."

Doherty and Winehouse had previously considered covering a Billie Holiday song before deciding to write together late last year.
