Where Have You Been Freedy?

Freedy Johnston hasn't put out a new studio album in 7 years, but 2008 looks like the year the drought ends. A new one is being worked on, and to whet your appetite how about a covers album. But if you're thinking Johnston's idea of a cover is stuff everyone else does, forget it. How about these titles: "Let 'Em In", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Bus Stop" or "Sad Cafe", the latter an Eagles song. One can't be sure if Freedy likes these oddball songs or is playing with your mind. He's one for humor, you know. But My Favorite Waste Of Time is everything you could want in a covers project. The strange choice, the obvious one and the one you thought nobody would ever cover.
