Alt Rock Classics
- Like The Weather-10,000 Maniacs (One of the group's most tuneful melodies; Natalie Merchant sings about having a "shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather," but you get the feeling everything will turn out fine.)
- Down So Low-Mother Earth (Tracy Nelson emotes convincingly as she sings, conveying grit, passion, and wistfulness equally well.)
- Do You Know The Way To San Jose-Trijntje Oosterhuis (Dionne Warwick's version is the definitive one for me, but these vocals do the tune justice, as well.)
- I Get A Kick Out Of You-Louis Armstrong (Armstrong's vocals were always sincere, as demonstrated here.)
- Pennies From Heaven-Dave Brubeck (Brubeck pushes the rhythm forward on piano, and the entire ensemble cooks on this one. No surprise there...)
- Got My Mind Set On You-George Harrison (Harrison's vocals are in fine form on this catchy cover of a James Ray tune.)
- Farewell, My Love, And Remember Me-Eileen Ivers featuring Tim Shelton (Lyrically and vocally, the song flows smoothly with "Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore" by The High Kings.)
- Sugar-Stanley Turrentine (Turrentine plays tenor sax on this sly walk of a melody and has ample assistance from such heavy hitters as Freddie Hubbard, George Benson, Ron Carter, and Lonnie Smith.)
