Under the Covers Vol. 1 by Matthew Sweet (CD, Apr-2006, Shout! Factory)

Pure pop for now people was how Nick Lowe described it back in the day. Same applies for this covers record with crystal clear production and enthusiastic performances. Beats the hell out of grunge.

Es un cd muy lindo para aquellos que gusten de la voz de Sussanna Hoffs.
Lo compré simplemente por eso.

The primary reason I purchased this CD is that I like Susanna Hoffs ... the most amazing voice ever! And there is plenty of her vocals on this album, a must-have for any true Bangles fan. However, don't expect another Bangles album ... it is different in a lot of good ways. Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet should be well past the "I have to do what they want me to"-stage in their musical careers and be free to create music as they choose ... result: a high quality collection of covers of some well-known and some not-so-well-known songs selected & performed to perfection by two talented & experienced professionals. With each song you can feel the passion and fondness that has gone into it and it doesn't matter whether or not you know the original versions of the covered titles, there's not a note out of place on this album ... it just sounds right. And better than any original version - in my biased opinion.

Rating: BUY & HOLD
