Am I the only one who thinks this is lame. I have a hard time with covers that don't stray far from the original and this is an album chock full of them. What is the point of Matthew Sweet playing "Cinnamon Girl" note for note? Good taste in the choices but they don't add much, if anything.

I haven't heard it so I can't agree or disagree, but my fear that this would be true is why I haven't picked it up despite being a big Matthew Sweet fan. I listened to a couple of short clips that I thought were sickenly sweet, but I hate to just judge by short clips. I'd be interested in hearing more opinions though.

This disc is very bland. Nothing really worth writing about here, I would have though they could have picked some more obscure stuff (and two Neil Young covers?). I was left feeling a little bored. Sounds great, but not much there.

My Under the Covers CD came with a bonus CD single--a third Neil Young cover (Buffalo Springfield - "On the Way Home").

So it's been a couple of years, but volume 2 is coming out next week. They're going all 70s this time:

Track Listing:
1. Sugar Magnolia (The Grateful Dead)
2. Go All The Way (The Raspberries)
3. Second Hand News (Fleetwood Mac)
4. Bell Bottom Blues (Derek & The Dominoes)
5. All The Young Dudes (Mott The Hoople)
6. Youâ€™re So Vain (Carly Simon)
7. Here Comes My Girl (Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers)
8. Iâ€™ve Seen All Good People: Your Move/All Good People (Yes)
9. Hello Itâ€™s Me (Todd Rundgren)
10. Willinâ€™ (Little Feat)
11. Back Of A Car (Big Star)
12. Couldnâ€™t I Just Tell You (Todd Rundgren)
13. Gimme Some Truth (John Lennon)
14. Everything I Own (Bread)
15. Maggie May (Rod Stewart)
16. Beware Of Darkness (George Harrison)

I liked the first one quite a bit, expecially Care of Cell #44, and am looking forward to hearing this. Tracklist scares me, though, especially Sugar Mags/All Good People/All the Young Dudes. Could have sworn I saw something about a bonus disc with songs like Killer Queen and Marquee Moon, but can't find any info.

Anyone heard this yet?
