Title: Buy the originals, skip these poor imitations
Review: For those of you too young to know the original verions of these songs, this cd might sound really good to you. Because these are some excellent songs. But the covers are just pale imitations of the originals.The Cat Stevens covers are especially poor. There's a reason that many of these artists are largely unknown if their original pieces sound anything like these.There are a few bright spots on the cd. Jason Mraz does a good cover of Summer Breeze. The *original* theme song is included here, which I always liked much more than the overly orchestrated one it was changed to later on in the series. The Treat Williams song is fine, as is the song by Jump Little Children (which is an original). But these aren't enough to make the album worthwhile. I recommend skipping this cd and checking out the artists who made these songs popular in the first place.
Is the review positive or negative?
