A number of covers here by groups I'm not familiar with. "Bird Without Wings" sounds like a cross between early Fairport and Spanky & Our Gang (in a good way). Great selections throughout Mike. Good work.

To amend my previous comment - Excellent work! Well curated, with an abundance of surprises (the version of "Lovers" is particularly striking). One note of correction - the Colin mentioned in the song on the new album, is not Colin Linden. It's another friend who tragically drowned while swimming.

Thanks Gus -- and thanks for the update on Colin.
