To be completely honest, it was a struggle to get through this CD. It made me think of the Pat Boone remakes of popular songs. It had a very ‘Grandma’s house’ sound to it. The lead singers voice sounded eerily familiar to the guy who sang “You Got a Friend in Me” for Toy Story. It was a remake of eighties classics. Understandably, the band put their own spin on the songs, but it came out sounding like polka music. I kept waiting for the accordion. I tried to keep an open mind, and for that I recommend two tracks from this CD. I’m not saying that they are good songs. They are just the best songs on there. Track number 4 entitled “Incognito” isn’t horrible. And the cover of “Black Velvet” is listenable, although they butcher the chorus of the song. Overall, I’d give the CD a D+.
