Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
You could be forgiven for never having considered exactly what the sweaty, inflated machismo of The Darkness' "Get Your Hands Off My Woman" would sound like played on the old Joanna by a straight-laced looking bloke called Ben with a sensible haircut. But then you probably don't lurk on Ben Folds fan-site forums after dark, do you? You've probably never made claims that Folds has done for the piano pop song what Hendrix did for the guitar either. You might be right on that one, but you're certainly all the poorer for having never heard that cover, all warm falsetto-fired super-harmonies and intense hammering at both ends of the piano. And that's before we even start considering The Cure's "In Between Days" as breezy concerto and a thrillingly subversive reworking of Dr Dre's misogynistic "Bitches Ain't Shit" as an ELO-style ballad with dead-pan enunciation of street cussing all the way to the finish line. All of these are gathered from celebrated internet-only EP releases from the last couple of years onto one physical release for the first time, along with original works like the deep string-sewn tapestry "Still", which confirm the solo Ben Folds to be one of the most accomplished and quirky talents in US indie. --James Berry
