As the title of this collection suggests, English blue-eyed soul man Paul Young, takes pop songs and reworks them into big band, Sinatra-Buble stylings. He covers songs made famous by Elvis, Springsteen, Elton John, Don Henley, and even Soft Cell and Eminem. What makes the collection special is that he pulls it off and it works more often than not. It's such a shame this wasn't a big hit. It has a rockabilly feel, kinda like something the Stray Cats might have tried.
