somewhat unequal
50 songs for 12 credits - OK! 50 cover versions for £21.00 - NOT OK! Download the album on amazon for £4.99. Get it together emusic, you're too inflexible and too biased towards the USA.

Love it
Good choices of songs and great covers from artists. thanx
Awesome value
I was very impressed with this line up of songs covered by other rock bands. For 12 credits you get 50 songs!!! Highlights are Doctor Doctor by Jani Lane of Warrant and La grange by Black Oak Arkansas...this is a very fun album to put on and jam!!!
eMusic has done it!
This is, indeed, a way to hear some good music without a radio or dragging out all the old tapes. The choice and quality are excellent and in good taste. Rock and Roll is Alive and Well. . .
Whatta Deal!
A little hit and miss - but really, 50 songs for 12 downloads? What's not to like? plus some of these are really good - Hollywood Nights and Thorogood's take on Purple People Eater are both cool - heck just download it and enjoy.

Don’t Forget (The Rest of) The Motor City
By John Morthland, eMusic Contributor
Everybody knows Motown was great, but few realize what an incubator the entire City of Detroit was for soul music in its heyday. For each artist on Berry Gordy’s label there were several more just as good who went with another major, or with a smaller, local indie. Some made their names in r&b, vocal groups or gospel before evolving into soul; others started in soul but had their greatest impact in funk. But even… more »

Rising Tide of Female Jazz Singers
By Dan Ouellette, eMusic Contributor
While the legendary voices of such jazz icons as Billie, Ella and Sarah still ring true, subsequent generations of female jazz vocalists have taken the music in new directions, especially in the '90s, ranging from Cassandra Wilson's new-standard caress to Diana Krall's classics with a twist. Taking their lead, young singers over the last decade have been swinging the vocal tradition onto a new plateau with a pop sensibility. In the mix are tunes by… more »

Townfolk Hip-Hop
By Tambi Younes, Label Relations Coordinator
Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is who you'll hear about when the topic of Seattle's music scene is brought up in a historical context. It makes sense. Alternative music has always been the face of the Seattle scene. But before Kurt and Eddie, there was Ray and Quincy and Jimi. Seattle has soul, and the hip-hop community in the 206 is the living proof. They love their hometown and the music reflects that. "Townfolk Hip-Hop"… more »

Teenage Graceland
By Wayne Robins, eMusic Contributor
After Elvis went into the Army and before the British Invasion, the years 1958-63 were rock's forgotten years. But they were the years that shaped the musical tastes of baby boomers and of acts from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen and the Ramones. Hear the dance sensations, the one-hit-wonders, the girl groups and doo-wop singers, surfers and rockabilly twangers, the birth of Motown, the evolution of R&B into soul and so much… more »
