Free Music Review: B-Sides and Rarities - Worth Your Time and Money
Hit: 5 Stars
First of all, I'm a big fan of Cake's music. The bass-lines, the guitar riffs, the horns, the throaty vocals that aren't really melodic but somehow seem to fit in just perfectly. It's just a great combination.
Secondly, I love covers. I used to scour the Internet for any cover of any song, just to hear it. If it was a good cover, I'd usually run out and buy a CD buy the cover band. Since I already love Cake, and love cover songs, B-Sides is everything I expected.
The first song is a cover of Black Sabbath's War Pigs, which is a song that I love. Cake takes the song, and delivers it in true Cake fashion. The last song on the disc is also a cover of this song, but a live one. Continuing with covers, they also have Barry White's Never, Never Gonna Give You Up (which was featured on the American Werewolf in Paris soundtrack, and was the only reason I bought that disc), Sinatra's Strangers in the Night, and Mahna, Mahna from the Muppets. (do dooooo do do doo!) They also cover some country songs, such as Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town, which has been sung by several artists through the years, and Excuse Me, I Think I've Got a Heartache. The best part about the country covers is that they're REAL country songs, not this Kelly Clarkson stuff that folks are calling "new country." New Country is just rock with a steel guitar, and consists primarily of junk.
So, Cake fans and cover song fans out there, go out and buy this disc. I'm giving it a full five stars.
B Sides & Rarities Poster
Since breaking on to the music scene in the early nineties, CAKE has not only survived, but thrived in a tumultuous industry where major labels have continued to merge themselves out of existence, indies are regaining power, and the average band's life span is a meager two albums. CAKE's distinctive brand of music has transcended scene and genre alike for over a decade, garnering the band several platinum records and a dedicated following. The band now brings forth a unique collection of "b-sides and rarities", their first release since 2004?s studio album "Pressure Chief". Songs on the album were originally sung by legendary singers such as Frank Sinatra, Barry White, Buck Owens, George Jones, Ozzy Osborne, and Kenny Rogers. The band has used these songs to find new creative elements within themselves, producing eloquently accomplished tracks that simultaneously maintain the band's own unique stamp. CAKE's "b-sides and rarities" comes complete with a collectible "scratch and sniff" CD package and features re-mixed and re-mastered tracks, plus an exclusive live bonus track of "War Pigs" with Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips.Alternative Rock Music CDs
