Under the Covers

Ahhh... the 60's. If there is any one time I could travel back to, this would be it. Everything was nicer, cleaner. The bands and music were better. It was quite the time to be alive... or, so I hear at least (as I was born in 1981, the year that MTV was launched, and ruined music forever)

Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs (singer / guitarist of the Bangles) want to take us back to those long past, but never forgotten, summer days of the 60's.

On their album Under the Covers: Vol 1 (using the fake band name, 'Sid & Susie') they cover such ground from the Beatles and the Beach Boys (surprise surprise!) to Neil Young (two tracks on the album), the Mamas & Papas, the Who, Bob Dylan and more. Some of the tracks are known, others are hidden gems.

For those of you who aren't in the 'know', or just didn't listen to alternative rock radio in the 90's, Matthew Sweet brought us 1991's "Girlfriend". Pop-Rock at it's best, kids.
