Various Artists – Verve Remix 4

I’m not into cover versions or remixes but I was a little intrigued as to how some of these old songs would sound. Track One – Cry me a River wasn’t bad at all not my normal couple of tea but not unpleasant.

These are old time classics and they still sound dated especially Track Two -Gimme Some. Track Six – Bim Bom was pure drivel, repetitious and boring. More of the same with Track Eight -Tea for Two, I can’t in all honestly see this album appealing to anyone under the age of seventy. The final track, I get a Kick out of you, was intriguing if only for it’s strangeness. I’m sure someone out there will buy this but I can’t see it appealing to the masses, this has to be an acquired taste.
