Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Judging by the boudoir innuendo of the title and Marti Pellows' dashingly ruffled appearance on the sleeve (the shagged-out Financial Advisor on-the-pull look), Between the Covers could be misinterpreted as an album aimed at maturer ladies who hanker after cheeky chappies but who'd probably rather prefer an unproblematic night in with the choccies and a pulp weepie. Actually, Between the Covers--cover versions of some of Marti Pellow's favourite songs, from James Taylor and Stevie Wonder through to such curmudgeonly charmers as Leonard Cohen is neither stuffed with blushing love odes nor does it pretend to be a jolly Robbie Williams-type thing. The former Wet Wet Wet pin-up has had his ups-and-downs but his stoical re-emergence and fresher state of mind is reflected, rather obviously, in numbers such as Paul Weller's "Brand New Start", the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down" and Bill Withers' "Grandma's Hands"; songs that either espouse optimism or the probity of loyalty, friendship and familial strength. While Pellow's stark version of Joni Mitchell's "River" ("an optimistic song" he says, "depressing enough to bring tears to the eyes of Santa Claus" says everybody else) is cold and beautiful. Other numbers show a little too much respect (his rendition of the Pretenders' "Brass in Pocket" is as faithful as a nun), but when Pellow grabs a song by the privates and squeezes tightly, as on the blazing, string-drenched soul stomp through Neil Young's previously brittle "Lotta Love" it really is worth it. --Kevin Maidment
