I thought this CD was pretty cool. The entire cd is all cover songs ranging from 1995 and go clear back to 1954. I thought it was really neat to hear some of the songs i was forced to listen to on Mainstream radio like "Don't Speak" which is obviously a No Doubt song, but with a completely different ensamble and workup done with it. All of these songs have a Jazzy spin to them but still reminisce the original beats of the songs which is pretty cool. I loved the covers of "Under The Bridge" and "The Lady In My Life" the most.
