Take the good with the bad... but there are some awesome covers on this album. The Hold Steady absolutely rock in their version of Atlantic City... and Leopard-Skin Beckified is catchy as hell.

For a great cause too... so don't torrent this one!

It's not bad... not perfect, but a solid compilation album. To be honest if it weren't for charity I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole though!
