Listening Booth: 1970

This CD is outstanding. I have it in my car and listen to it all the time. Marc Cohn has an amazing voice and the songs bring back a lot of memories. You won't be sorry if you purchase this CD.

Great CD! He hit a home run with this one. Easy listening. Brings back great sounds from 1970.

What a treat for my ears. I love the songs and his voice is to die for. It's one the best CD's recorded in a very long time. Real music for a change.

If Jackson Pollock decided to paint the Mona Lisa, it certainly wouldn't look like Leonardo's, but it probably would be an incredible work of art. The same applies to this set of songs put through a funk/r&b makeover by Marc Cohn. Some myopic, windbag reviewers complain these aren't like the original versions . . . duh! Marc Cohn's musical sensibilities can be trusted to make art, not copies, and that's what we have here. Wait 'til you hear the musical arrangements - they will reverberate in your head as if the original versions were never heard by you. Listen to Cohn's vocals - the infusion of soul takes these songs beyond ever being just 'covers'. In fact, I dare to say if these versions had been released first, they would have been hits before the originals made it to the charts. Way to go Marc! After your next album of new, stunningly brilliant music (I hope, I hope), let's move on to 1971 so I can hear you do "Maggie May". I got chills already.

Great album of classic Marc Cohn. Easy, relaxed listening. Great value for many hours of enjoyment.
