PHIL COLLINS "going back" cd,2010.

did this one as a new release when it came out...i liked it then(obviously, as i bought it!), and still do....
not a big fan of covers in general, nor am i really a fan of Phil but....
this is Collins' covers album of Motown classics..
backing muso's on here are the original house band from HitsvilleUSA... and they still know how to play that sh!t perfectly.
vocally, his voice does lack some 'feel' in places, but then again he isnt black, so i guess that answers that, but all up as a covers set this is pretty darn good, especially his cover of 'papa was a rolling stone'...sublime rendition IMO and easily the best thing on here,well worth the purchase price for that one alone,in fact, that is why i bought this album LOL...
sorry guys, am having trouble on youtube right now, am posting as it is with the links i have attained so far...

PORCUPINE TREE - The Incident (2009)







Great progressive rock ambience from British band Procupine Tree led by the genius of Steven Wilson.

from my library (cd)

vinyl



cd



Continuing my weekly all things Dylan posts, we are up to album #20. Bob's still on his christian road
trip and it's in your face on this one. Gospel Rock with the emphasis on both. By the time the last song
came around, I was expecting the collection plate to appear. Another downward trend for Bob from me. Still
a good album but doesn't come close to Slow Train Coming. Nothing I love on this one and one cover that I
don't like. Speaking of covers, interesting that the cd cover for this album is entirely different from
the vinyl cover. Guess the vinyl was just too overt. Gotta be subtle about that religious stuff. I
included both for your observation. This album was panned by the critics and the pubic too as it was his
lowest chart showing here since his early days and has never even reached Gold status. The UK still gave
Bob some support at #3, but #18 in Australia and #24 here were way down from his previous showing.
