Music reviews of The Bobs Cover the Songs of...
Music Review: CREAM & JIMI, Yeah! 2 other nice covers, rest, uninspired interpretations
Rating: 2 Stars
This is their 6th album (1994). It's not in the group of their first four albums that are simply stunning (s/t, My I'm Large, Song for Tomorrow and Sing the Songs of). I've wondered why I don't listen to this covers album of theirs as much as I do their first one. Well, it's simply because they don't get the groove thing going nearly as often here.
Yes, 'White Room' and 'Wind Cries Mary' are marvelous. It helps that I'm a huge fan of both those bands so hearing virtually any clever cover of them makes me happy and, in fact, these are the two strongest interpretations on the album. As is typical of the BOBS after their first four albums, there's always something great on every album, problem is, this is about it here.
'Is That All There Is?' and 'Unchain My Heart' are pleasant but unspectacular interpretations, that is, fairly predicable versions that don't stray significantly from the original. Nice enough but nothing to swoon over and I've swooned, despite being a hetero man, many a time over many of their unbelieveably great songs on those first four albums.
The rest of the songs here just miss the mark. As is the case with all their albums numbers five through twelve (not counting the two best of compilations) most of the songs on those six albums are just not hits, not striking, not inspired. I find I never listen to those other songs.
'White Room' and 'Wind Cries Mary' are immenently listenable. The rest, really, just are a big notch below. chrisbct@hotmail.com
