21 Really Cool Songs

EDITORIAL REVIEWS Sugarbeats 21 Really Cool Songs .COM In this imaginative collection of really cool song covers, the Sugar Beats go all out for soul-sending hits of yesteryear as well as more obscure delights from bygone eras. Check out the soul artifacts: Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher," Ray Charles's declarative "Hit the Road Jack," James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)," and Bill Withers's "Lean on Me." Then there's the two "lost" tracks from the Beatles, convincing remakes of "Your Mother Should Know" and "All Together Now," the former a nosta ic tune from Yellow Submarine days. With other gems like "Big Yellow Taxi," "These Boots Are Made for Walking," the old Manfred Mann hit "Do Wah Diddy," and "Shout," 21 Really Cool Songs is not just a lot of really cool listening time but also a whole lot of really great value. --Martin Keller REVIEW Twenty-one classics, from Rockin' Robin to Leon on Me, from Twist and Shout to Big Yellow Taxi, conjure up sock hops of the 60's. Purists may cringe okay, so it's not James Brown for real or Joni Mitchell in the flesh - but rock-nroll back-ups, punchy lead singers and a nice variety of musical styles and tempos add up to a well-constructed album. Young rockers of the 90's will find a lot here to sing along with, dance to, and enjoy . . . and they'll also be learning something about their uniquely American music. -- From Parents' Choice See more
