I recently borrowed this CD off a friend after seeing adverts for it on the TV, and after hearing the 1st album I thought there is no way the second one could be better. However I think I was proved wrong. It has some brilliant cover tracks on it, sung by some of the people you would least expect. Some of the tracks performed with an acoustic guitar somehow sound much better than the originals! The tracks all come from Jo Whiley's live lounge (she's a Dj at Radio 1 for anyone that didn't know!) It's a great CD where else would you hear Maximo Park singing 500 miles! (Originally by the Proclaimers) or The Enemy covering Madonna's hit Hung Up. I can guarantee that you will find yourself enjoying songs that you have previously hated! I know I did! Even if you do not know some of the artist on the CD it doesn't mean they wont be good tracks as I found it hard to dislike any track. At around £10 this CD isn't badly priced either, as you get 2 CDs and after hearing it I'm sure you'd gladly pay more! Can't wait for a 3rd volume!
Thanks for reading my review. I hope it helped you! :)
