Under the Covers Vol. 1,
by Sid n Susie
A great
collection of covers of late 60's pop songs by Matthew Sweet and former
Bangle Susanna Hoffs. I admit, I was not a huge Bangles fan, as I considered
myself more of a Go-Go's type. But how could you not love a CD that includes
a cover of a Left Banke song? And they didn't pick the obvious "Walk Away
Renee," though after hearing this CD, I'd love to hear their take on it.
Both Sweet and Hoffs, performing as Sid and Susie, have perfect voices for
this type of music. They cover such a wide range of what could be filed
under "pop", from The Who's "The Kids Are Alright" (my favorite Who song,) to
Love's masterpiece "Alone Again Or." This CD is simply brilliant. I hope the
fact that they called it Volume 1 means that there really will be another
one.
