A grower 20 July 2009
Format:Audio CD
Good album of well-chosen covers ... didn't really think much of it at first but it is a grower and has a fine selection of songs. Has been on my turntable a lot. All good apart from a turgid cover of 'Beautiful'. Favourite tracks 'I Just Can't Take It Anymore' and 'Layin Up With Linda'. It is no 'Its a Shame About Ray' though.

Evan Dando has always been a great interpreter of other people's songs - Luka, Brass Buttons, Mrs Robinson etc, so it was only a matter of time before he released a full album of them.

It's an interesting set of songs from artists ranging from the obvious, Parsons and Cohen, through to the willfully obscure, GG Alin's Layin' Up With Linda - which he turns in to a fabulous Cave-esque murder ballad.

Dirty Robot - a horrible, embarrassing slab of electro-pop - spoils the overalll feel of the album and loses a star!

Redemption arrives with the two closing tracks, Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye, with Liv Tyler and his fabulous interpretation of Linda Perry's Beatiful.

Poor 1 July 2009
Format:Audio CD
I'm a long-time fan of the Lemonheads but felt insulted by this lacklustre collection. There's nothing here that tops the originals, or even comes close. In addition, despite all the hype about Gibby Haynes' production, it sounds like it was recorded in a vat of mud. Avoid.
