Is this reviewer on crack?!?

MM's cover of "The Warmth of the Sun" is one of those recordings that, when played for unsuspecting listeners, blows them completely away. Before this became available on iTunes, I spent a small fortune to get this CD as an import just to get that track -- not that there is any shortage of other gems here. Her tribute to Sly Stone is fun and full of funky affection, "Time" is moving, and overall the vocal interpretations show that, even if she couldn't write a song to save her life, MM deserved accolades heaped on so many others with half the chops.
Also interesting to note is that she made this album to get back to what it was in music that she loves so much, and it shows that she found it in no time.
In fairness, I can't comment on the bonus tracks, as they only came out very recently. But why, oh why would "My Boyfriend's Back" get tacked on here? This is NOT the place for a dance record!
