14 tuneful covers

One of the best albums of cover tunes I've ever heard is "Songs Of The Open Road" by The Kennedys.  Their blend of jangling guitars and endearing harmonies serves every track well; everything comes together especially well on "Gypsy Rose," "Jasmine," and "Late Night Grande Hotel."  The Kennedys cover a wide range of sources, from Mahalia Jackson to Bob Dylan, with equal ease.

The photos on the CD insert and back cover also illustrate one aspect of a strong, healthy relationship--being comfortable posing with your spouse while wearing touristy hats.  Isn't that what we all desire?
