Advantages: Loads Of Great tracks! Youll find yourself enjoying songs you hated Disadvantages: Some obscure artist that you may not know
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 ...
Advantages: Some of the best bits from Jo Whiley's Live Lounge sessions Disadvantages: Includes some really odd ones that you might skip
Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley has got hold of some of the worlds best artists to perform in the Live Lounge. Not only to perform there own tracks but to perform another artists song in their own style. The Live Lounge has become an integral part of her show and becuase of its success, the Live Lounge2CD was released.
The Live Lounge sessions enable artists to let listeners hear what they are all about. The live and unrehearsed sessions allow the listeners to appreciate what an artist is really like (and how they can sign without digital enhancements)!!
The Live Lounge has encouraged artist to reproduce covers of their own personal favourite artists or tracks. Some of these have been truely outstanding as any listener to Jo Whiley's show will know.
Can you imagine hearing The Automatic covering Kanye West, or Franz Ferdinand ...
Advantages: Brilliant Covers, Great Original Versions Disadvantages: Data Listings on MP3 Players Is Sketchy
I actually downloaded this rather than buy the CD, but then had the wonderful surprise of The Blonde coming home and depositing it in my lap having just been out shopping.
She bought it because I had been wittering on about how much I loved Jo Whiley on Radio One and especially the covers that the artists did on the live lounge. It seems to have got through.... I might have to try that tactic when I want a new suit *grin*
Anyhow.... The album covers are actually pretty non-descript. The front shows some guitar cases with plenty of stickers, a couple of Mike stands and a bright red label with Radio One live lounge emblazened upon it. It does a job I suppose.
The reverse of the CD has the track listings on, and since it is a double CD, there really isn't that much room for anything else.
The tracks involved are as follows ...
