Almost every track here is a winner. Especially love the reworking Louis Prima and Keely Smith give “I’ve Got You Under my Skin”. Recommended.

Snicker if you want but this song is AWESOME. Especially at high volume. I once played it for a co-worker and asked him to guess the artist and he thought it was a Metallica tribute band or something. :)

“Devil horns” for Merrill, y’all..

Though the lyric’s cheesy at times, I can definitely get behind the sentiment. How much good could the Body of Christ do if they chose to be Christ followers first and Baptists/Methodists/Episcopalians/Pentecostals/etc etc etc etc second?

So much of what we fight over aren’t really salvation issues anyway. I’m not sure that your admission to the hereafter will depend on what quantity of water was splashed on you when you were baptized or whether you’re pre, mid, or post-trib.

I’m not sure how I’d ever get a bustle in my hedgerow but if I do, I won’t be alarmed.

I’m sure most Elvis fans consider this one blasphemy but I’ve always thought it a nice updating. Like Willie’s take on the song, too.

This song almost ACHES for Caroline’s loss of innocence. Themes of childlike wonder abound in Brian’s music and this is one of his best.

If you’re one of the few who don’t know what it says, the backwards talking before the song starts is someone in the band (Hartman?) saying “What are you looking for the Devil for when you ought to be looking for the Lord?”

This was about the time of the “backmasking” craze when Styx had labels on the album warning about “Hidden messages” and the anti-rock preachers did seminars about the awful things hidden in Led Zeppelin songs backwards. :)

Has the effect of painting Sledge as a 2nd tier R&B singer who managed one eternal classic (“When a Man Loves a Woman”) and a couple solid gems (“Sudden Stop”,”Take Time to Know Her”) alongside some OK but unremarkable soul tunes and quite a bit of dull filler. (His listless version of Elvis Presley’s “Love me Tender” for one..)

You can definitely live without this CD but try and get copies of the 3 best tunes as they are definitely worth it.

Perhaps the most beautiful ballad Mylon ever did (and that’s saying something from the man who also gave us “For my Growing”, “Stranger to Danger” and “More”)

Why don’t we ALL speak of the pompitous of love, hmm?
