What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Fashion Nugget is the second album by Cake, a quintet from Sacramento, California, It was released in 1996 at a time when I was in a music funk. A record store clerk recommended the album to me and it brought me out of my temporary music listening slump! The album is quirky in some places yet an enjoyable listen overall! The addition of trumpet brightens the album's overall effect. There are three covers done well...Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps, a Cuban love song originally recorded by Desi Arnaz and popularised by Doris Day and Willie Nelson's Sad Songs and Waltzes. The trumpet on Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps is a welcomed touch!

There are 14 tracks on Fashion Nugget. Here are a few tracks from the album:
