I'm going to jump off and assume that Phil Collins needs no actual introduction. But one might ask, is this a classic rock review? Answer B Siders is no, Phil Collins is part of New Music Tuesday! First time he's dropped an album since 2002. First time he's seen number one on the album charts since his 1998 release of Hits, a compilation of his and Genesis's best of. This album is a bunch of covers of old 60's music. I think this is a really neat idea. Now, I'm not a big fan of that brand of music, and I wouldn't normally listen to it - but what's great, is I think Phil does the old tracks justice, while not significantly altering the standards. Best of both worlds kind of thing. This is certainly worth a listen. If you enjoy older motown and soul music, this will be right up your alley. And if you like Phil Collins, this sounds like stuff he could have written and arranged himself. Time will tell how this sells, but it wouldn't surprise me to see more imitations of this assuming it works. To this I salute Phil, and say to the harsh critics, get off your high horses. Even if this isn't my kind of tuneage (which it's not) I still think it's great. It's fun. And what is music if not fun? Yeah, that's what I thought. Check it out today. Jam like it's 1960. Happy Tuesday B Siders!
