Fire Drill Review:
It is not really surprising that The Lemonheads have released a covers record because the band has had some solid b side cover songs in their career as well as their hit Mrs. Robinson. What is surprising is the mostly eclectic song choices that will challenge even hardcore music enthusiasts to know them all. From Wire and Gram Parsons to a country fried remake of murder ballad "Layin Up With Linda" from G.G. Allin each song is treated fairly by Dando. There are also some guest vocals from Kate Moss and Liv Tyler included, which seems a bit odd but hey - it's a covers record - and a covers record that is pretty enjoyable!
Key Track: "I Just Can't Take It Anymore (Gram Parsons)"
