Synopsis

Amazon.com
This benefit CD for the Northwest AIDS Foundation collects a dozen previously released remakes of classic rock and soul songs from the 1960s to the 1980s. Each listener will find his or her own highlights--this corner has always been partial to Aztec Camera's to-swoon-for take on Van Halen's "Jump"--but the entire disc makes for tasteful play-through. The overall slant is positive, with Sarah McLachlan (Donovan's "Wear Your Love Like Heaven"), the Go-Go's ("Cool Jerk"), and John Wesley Harding (Madonna's "Like a Prayer") in particularly sunny moods. Cover Me should stand not only as a fine fundraising tool for a great cause, but as a reminder that the foundation still has much vital work left to do. --Rickey Wright

CD Reviews

This CD is great!
Jill Meyers | Seattle, WA | 12/06/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The music on this CD is a great mix of artists and songs. Heart's rendition of "The River" is fabulous - it's great to hear the Wilsons singing together again. I especially like "Wild Horses" by The Sundays and "To Sir With Love" by the powerful Melky Sedeck. Buying this CD for all your friends as Holiday gifts is an excellent way to support the very important work being done by the Northwest AIDS Foundation."
Cover Me - Treats from my favorite stars

"I really enjoy the "Cover Me" CD. All of the tracks are a real treat and it's one I play all of the time. I love Cyndi Lauper's cover of the classic "What's Going On" and Shawn Colvin's take on "Every Little Thing (He) Does Is Magic." And the new versions of "Jump" and "Like A Prayer" bring a fresh perspective to these songs.I've bought a couple extra copies of this CD for friends."
