The Bird and the Bee

My brother turned me on to a new album of all Hall & Oates covers last night. The album is called Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates, and was recorded by a group called The Bird and the Bee. I gave it the first listen last night, and I literally couldn't decide if they butchered the duo's hits or if it was one of the best set of covers I have ever heard. Since I awoke this morning I can't put this album down. Its such a great sound, and this group has put an alternative twist on some classic songs. Even though some might think Hall & Oates' career has been a humorous window of music, my brother and I grew up with a deep appreciation for them. This album is fresh, so check it out.
