Have you heard any of the songs from his new album, Rock Swings?

I recently heard Just a Gigolo. I thought the song sounded pretty good as a swing tune. A moment ago the radio played Anka's cover of Smells like teen spirit. I did not care for it much, but I also did not enjoy the song when Nirvana sang it.

I'm desperately trying to wrap my brain around this and just can't.

It's like Tony Bennett doing Aerosmith....

Or Pat Boone doing metal...

I listened to a clip for "The Eye of the Tiger". Meooooow. "Tears in Heaven" was pleasant, but I prefer the Clapton. I enjoyed "The Way You Make me Feel" in swing,
but not enough to go out and buy the CD. Mostly, I wanted to speed everything up.

He has a great voice. Gives me hope at my age.

Now, where's my Eric Clapton stuff...?

Actually, have you ever heard Tori Amos' cover? It really is a gorgeous song. I have some REALLY interesting covers I found on Napster back in the day.
