Everlasting

"Suspicious Minds. I've Been Loving You Too Long. Bring it on Home to Me. Oplagte evergreens, som allerede foreligger i mere eller mindre definitive udgaver af folk som Lennon, Presley og Otis Redding. Væsentligt mindre oplagt er det således, hvorfor vi nu skal have samme sange - samt yderligere ni - i kønsløse coverversioner af den 47-årige popcountry-stjerne McBride".

"With the assistance of Don Was -- who gives the whole affair a warm, burnished sound; there's a lot of vibe here, even if there isn't a lot of room for the musicians to depart from the groove, nor much reason to -- McBride also expands her scope ever so slightly, giving Fred Neil's "Little Bit of Rain" a Memphis flavor, swinging through Etta James' "In the Basement" with Kelly Clarkson, and bopping through a version of Little Walter's "My Babe" that's certainly cleaner than the original but maintains a little of that Chess mojo".
