This review is from: Career Suicide: The Essential Skip Heller 1994-2001 (Audio CD)

Skip Heller is probably the most under-rated artist around today. He's conversant with jazz, country, cartoon music, and more, but he never loses his indivduality. He doesn't resort to just playing licks. His compositions are really original, and his choice of covers is eclectic and intriguing. He'll take on Coltrane, the Allman Bros, Cole Porter, and Bill Monroe, and he always makes it sound like Skip Heller music. Like his buddies NRBQ, he'll keep you guessing and will leave you shouting for more.
