Covering Hall & Oates
The fey vocals of Inara George might startle those who have never heard her, and they especially stick out on The Bird and the Bee's Hall & Oates tribute CD, Interpreting the Masters.
She sounds like Suzanne Vega, but that's besides the point. 8 H&O songs and 1 new one in their style make for kitsch for sure. The H&O ones are all the classics, but as a big fan of the duo, I got off on these covers. Indie-Rock acts grew up on H&O and have a better appreciation for them then the critic's at the time who wrote them off. But as we know H&O have been elevated, much like "Don't Stop Believin'", much to the chagrin of some of the old time music crits, to hipster status. Now let's get them in the Rock Hall, where they belong.
