About This Site
Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

What’s unique about this CD is that they asked legendary musicians such as Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, U2, etc to nominate today’s artist to cover one of their classic songs. It’s interesting seeing just some of the names that show up on the album as Beck, Lily Allen, Franz Ferdinand, Elbow and Estelle are nominated to interpret classic songs from the past. My favorite track from the album was Duffy’s cover of Paul McCartney and The Wings classic, “Live And Let Die.” Duffy is a kind of artist that could probably sing anything, and sound good, and yet original at the same time (
Duffy covered, Hot Chip’s “Ready For the Floor” last year).
