I don't know exactly what to make of this hot mess. Is it a cover album or a tribute album or a remix album or just a blatant attempt to cash in on Stone's skills without coming up with anything original? Too much looping and too many drum machines for me. The original songs don't need updating; they're fresh enough as is. This review says it better than I could: www.popmatters.com
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart
Tracks: The only track that bears repeated listening is Family Affair, but after listening to the whole CD you'll go back to your collection looking for the original recordings to get the taste out of your mouth.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I bought this at a Best Buy on the way home from a grad school class and listened to it on the drive. Today's listening is the second time I've heard it.
