Title: All Covers
Product review: These days it seems like most artists eventually do an all covers album and "Keeper of the Flame" is the one from Luka Bloom. A great songwriter on his own (and with four albums to prove it) Bloom keeps things fairly sparse on both the instrumental front and time wise (the CD clocks in at less than 40 minutes).As for the material itself, these covers range from the somewhat obvious (Dylan's "Make Me Feel Your Love," Joni Mitchell's "Urge For Going," Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter") to the surprising (U2's "Bad," Bob Marley's "Natural Mystic") to the downright surreal (The Cure's "In Between Days," ABBA's "Dancing Queen"). All are sung with his marvelous voice and are superbly arranged."Keeper of the Flame" is probably not the best place for newcomers to start, but Bloom fans will want to be sure to pick this one up soon.
