==Background and recording==
In January 2012, it was announced that Florence and the Machine would be appearing on an upcoming ''MTV Unplugged'' show. ''MTV Unplugged'' was recorded in December 2011 in New York's oldest synagogue building, Angel Orensanz Center, by Florence Welch, a three-person backing band and a ten-person gospel choir, The Voices of Rivers.〔 The performance contained eleven songs from Florence and the Machine's two studio albums, ''Lungs'' (2009) and ''Ceremonials'' (2011), performed acoustically. The band covered Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness" during the show, which Florence Welch described as her favourite song.〔 ''Rolling Stone''s Rob Tannenbaum said that the band's cover of "Try a Little Tenderness" was "the best version" since Otis Redding's.〔 Andy Gill of ''The Independent'' chose the cover of the song as a highlight on the show saying that Welch "nails her take" on the song.〔
Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme joined lead singer Florence Welch for another cover of "Jackson" originally recorded by Johnny Cash and June Carter.〔 Emily Mackay of ''NME'' was positive about the cover of "Jackson" and wrote, "Where the original's sprightly skip is full of fiery humour, a lovers' tiff turned 'see if I care' bluff-off, Flo() and Josh start in a more haunted manner, but it isn't long before that bitchy back and forth carries them away on a fingerpickin' country freight-train, their voices as well-matched as their hair." ''Rolling Stone''s Matthew Perpetua chose the song as one of the highlights on the show, saying that "Homme and Welch sound amazing together".〔 Gill of ''The Independent'' was more negative about the cover saying that it "doesn't really work".〔 During an interview with the magazine, Welch talked about the collaboration, saying that "It was one of those things where it was like a dream scenario, and you never think that they'd say yes".〔 She revealed that she has been a fan of Homme since she was a teenage fan of Queens of the Stone Age, but met him when his other band, Them Crooked Vultures, appeared on several festivals alongside Florence and the Machine.〔 Welch revealed she chose "Jackson" because "it's been with me for a very long time" and because "The first song we ever recorded was a Johnny Cash cover of 'Folsom Prison' in our little studio ... It's the weirdest cover ever, this really weird soul version of 'Folsom City Blues.'"
