Five stars and then some.

Leave it to Morrissey to record an album of cover-songs that isn’t bland or reek of some middle age rock star that’s run out of ideas and cashes in on other people’s work as a novelty. Morrissey chose songs that stand on their own while simultaneously making a cohesive album statement. Even the lighter pop songs mesh well with the more folkish protest feeling on other tracks. There are several songs from the 60’s, and he does them justice. It reminds me that while Bob Dylan was important to that decade, so was Burt Bacharach. He’s also chosen songs by people that aren’t as well known but deserve a lot more recognition; Laura Nyro, Buffy Saint Marie, Melanie, and Jobriath for example. He’s consistently tried to bring attention to lesser known artists throughout his career, and he succeeds lovingly here. Hopefully people will hear the album and look deeper into these great songwriters and performers. Morrissey’s version of Joni Mitchell’s Don’t Interrupt The Sorrow retains the moody vibe present in the original without imitating, and I was pleasantly surprised to read the credits and find that Tom Scott who recorded and toured with Joni in the seventies plays saxophone on that track. Even though the album comprises songs that are decades old, many touch on themes current with what’s going on in the world today. It might be a stretch, but in a quiet way, I think Morrissey produced a current thematic album statement with this one.

What A Covers Album Should Be

Many singer/songwriters of a certain age from the 20th Century have done albums of covers in the 21st Century, and I have to say that this is one of the very best of its kind! These are not the usual, same-old, same-old, oft-covered hits by most of these composers. Morrissey went for lesser known songs and deep album tracks, many of which happen to be favorites of mine -- and he gives them his own, personal touch -- so these aren't slavish copies, but loving tributes done his way. It's a stunning lineup of songs from start to finish. One of the only huge hits Morrissey covers here is Laura Nyro's "Wedding Bell Blues," but he makes it his own (and doesn't change the gender, so it's perfect for the age of same-sex marriage)! Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Suffer The Little Children," from her great Illuminations album, and Joni Mitchell's "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow," from The Hissing of Summer Lawns, are fascinating choices, and are done with both vocal intensity and instrumental finesse, creating moods that honor the originals, while bringing Morrissey's own style into the picture.. Bob Dylan's "Only A Pawn In Their Game" is similarly reverent and relevant to our present political moment, without feeling like a soap box. The subjects are varied, too; Morrissey covers a lesser known Dionne Warwick-Bacharach/David song, "Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets," and it's a gem of elegant understatement. Covering other songwriters of the mid-20th Century -- Phil Ochs, Melanie, Tim Hardin, Carly Simon, Gary Puckett and Roy Orbison -- I'm impressed by the breadth of Morrissey's musical knowledge, as well as his refined taste, in picking material that deserves to be revisited and highlighted. Major Radio hits get enough attention, so it's good to remind people that some of the juiciest bits can be found by looking beyond the charts! Adding to the magic of this CD is Morrissey's singing, some of the best vocals of his career!

Love this album despite all the "woke" noise surrounding Moz lately. Love Moz's voice on it. Got vinyl, sounds good. Thank you Maestro.

It's Morrissey yeah!

Talented artists are capable to take others' work, plant their seal and make an impressive statement.

Didn't know some of these songs, but to me these are now Morrissey songs. With the exception perhaps of Lady Willpower, still his version is quite interesting. He never stops to amaze us.

Oh, sorry man I won't be able to totally quit meat and turn vegan in this life, perhaps in the next one.

Very good album of covers

Although i may not be familiar with some of these covered artists, I really loved the tone of this album. His voice really sounded good. I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding him but I really don't care about all that. I think he's a fantastic artist and this is a great addition to my collection. I really enjoyed this album.
