21 Really Cool Songs
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)," andBill Withers's "Lean on Me." Then there's the two "lost" tracks from theBeatles, convincing remakes of "Your Mother Should Know" and "All Together Now," the former a nostalgic tune fromYellow Submarinedays. With other gems like "Big Yellow Taxi," "These Boots Are Made for Walking," the oldManfred Mannhit "Do Wah Diddy," and "Shout,"21 Really Cool Songsis not just a lot of really cool listening time but also a whole lot of really great value.--Martin Keller
