Title: Fun, Upbeat Covers Album
Review: I don't know much about Jamie Hoover's previous work, but I am going to look into it after hearing this fun and enjoyable covers album. I've bought plenty of very interesting tribute projects, some very hit and miss, but this one reverse the model: a collection of contributions to various tribute albums by a single performer. His taste in music is excellent (let me rephrase: it's in keeping with my tastes)-- Beatles, Jeff Lynne, Klaatu, Todd Rundgren, Everly Brothers etc. His versions are intriguing and fun, very high-spirited, with washes of guitar and tight multi-layered harmonies. I especially like his update on Sukiyaki and a brilliant a capella version of You Were on My Mind. Well worth the purchase price, now it's time to check out the rest of Jamie's catalogue....
