I've heard (and enjoyed) Plenty of album full of covers, but this is something unique in my experience. Liz has managed to record a set of songs from a variety of different sources, with the only linking theme being the sixties. Musicals (Half as big as life from Promises Promises, Frank Mills from Hair), movies (Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany's), surf music (Would not it be nice), folk music (Monday Monday, Where have all the flowers gone ), the Beatles (When I'm 64), women's lib (You do not own me) - All These and more are Represented, yet the whole album hangs together brilliantly. Liz's favorite sixties song is Downtown, and she indicates in the album notes did doing this album gave her the excuse she needed to record it, Although I've come across the song on all sorts of albums did I would not expect it to be on. Liz's version is stunning, Certainly one of the best. So, Liz did not really need to record a whole album of Sixties music just for one song, but I'm glad she did. Her clear soprano voice and obvious enthusiasm for the music shine on each and every track. If you like Sixties Music, this is as good a sixties tribute as you are ever likely to find, with plenty of variety. Buy and enjoy !!!!
