Through a Glass Darkly is a three-piece rock band from Sydney, Australia, known for their energetic blend of 70s-style rock with a fuzzy blues edge. They released their album Double Standard featuring "Stagger Lee."

Their rendition of "Stagger Lee" offers a fresh perspective, infusing it with their signature rock and blues style. The band humorously describes the song as "the story of poor innocent 'Stagger' Lee Shelton who was forced to defend himself from local thug William Lyons, who really wanted Stagger's hat."

Through a Glass Darkly's interpretation of "Stagger Lee" showcases their ability to blend traditional narratives with contemporary rock elements, offering listeners a unique musical experience.
