Beatles Covers

The reason why I wanted to have the CD in the first instance, was the reinterpretation of Sarah MacLachlan's "Blackbird". Your version is beautiful and has absolutely amazed me as I looked at the film. This is for me the highlight of the CD, but (almost) all other interpretations are very well done, although perhaps also because of the fact that has no artist really removed to Nick Cave and Howie Day significantly from the original instrumentation.

Sheryl Crow's "Mother Nature's Son" is very well successful, and also the newly recorded by the Stereophonics "Do not let me down" I like to now highlight only two times more beautiful versions in addition to Blackbird.

Howie Day, actually one of my favorite singer / songwriter, however, has tried unsuccessfully in my opinion on "Help", is very anemic remained in his interpretation. The number is missing the verve as the original just demands, regardless of the song speed. I find it interesting here that it is precisely a true new "interpretation" fails. Howie Day away quite strongly from the original and therefore falls in my eyes to the nose. Just as Nick Cave with the gecoverte anyway to death "Let it Be".

These two songs bother me personally something on the plate, but apart from these two versions I find the rest of the songs all well done, precisely because of the great similarity to the original. I think that artists have the originals rather than necessarily appreciated reinterpreted.

All in all, a nice CD, but the duplication of some songs (film-related) and the above discussed weak pieces add up with me just only 4 points.
