What’s the big deal?
Recorded very independently and simply, the disc strips down pop and rock standards from the last thirty years to the acoustic standards they’ve become. Karaoke this is not though, Doyle is an incredibly gifted vocalist, and getting her away from the abysmal pop trio Shaye is a good thing. Covering the Foo Fighters, Tragically Hip and most importantly Joy Division on a heartbreaking coulda-been-cheesy-but-escapes-that rendition of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” keeps this disc out of Canadian Idol style cover territory.
Who’s behind it?
Doyle and friend/producer/musician/songwriter Danny Michel worked casually over two years selecting the perfect assortment of favorites for the intimately recorded disc (it started one red wine filled afternoon, quite innocently recording a cover of Bob Marley’s “Is This Love”).
