Title: Your Parent's Music
Review: Well, there are about three good cuts on this CD, out of 22. The George Harrison song is a nice take on his "All Things Must Pass"/Phil Spector sound, and probably worth the price. [The Paul Carrack and Mark Knopler contributions are pretty good too.] But there are some real rotten things here! The totally repellant Marc Almond song, the painful fake soul of Eric Clapton (hint: shut up and play the guitar, you're not Ray Charles), the truly embarrassing John Cale take on 'I Wanna Be Around...', the grim 'Revolution' by some half-dead Cobain wannabe...I could go on, but I won't.The whole thing comes across as a karaoke evening at some dismal club, with a terrible big band instead of the canned backings, and unsuspecting guests being asked to do 'their thing'. The arrangements are blarey and annoying, just like the hams who used to back sixties TV shows in Britain. I couldn't wait for it to be over!
