Bobby' (2007) that is an instrumental jazz tribute to Bobby Darin.The Waverly Seven is made up of Anat Cohen,Avishai Cohen,Jason Lindner,Joel Frahm,Daniel Freedman,Manuel Valera & Barak Mori.<br /><br />Thanks for the Fastbacks album.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259777033023966731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-85256414152035780312013-06-13T07:31:24.519-05:002013-06-13T07:31:24.519-05:00Hey.

Featuring Josh Freese!!!! As for covers by the FBX? Wow, too many to name. We covered our fave songs which made many people confused, which is a good thing. Here's to BOC, Van Halen, Tommy Roe, Beatles, Montrose, and a lot more.

The Johnny Cash tribute "Dressed In Black" is excellent with Dwight Yoakum, Dylan, Bruce, and Steve Earle. Amnesty International released a fine Dylan tribute last year "Chimes Of Freedom", a three CD low price set with all previously unreleased songs. My favorite is "The Last Temptation Of Elvis", a two disc UK set by NME, released in 1990.<br /><br />This looks good, thanks jeffen. So far my fave is "Won't Have To Worry", I like the Buddy Holly riffs.Jerry Leehttp://www.jerryleelewis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-83890500916729124032013-06-10T14:28:25.221-05:002013-06-10T14:28:25.221-05:00Powerpopearls!!
