This whole entire Cd is remakes of songs by many famous artists that have influenced each band member over the years. It includes remakes of "When I Was Young (the animals)", "Turn The Page (bob seger)", "Sail On Sailor (beach boys)", "Move Over (janis joplin)" and the famous blues number "Who Do You Love?" which was remade by numerous musicians. This isn't their best work but it is interesting the way that they approach some of these songs. Also check out their remake of "This Wheel's On Fire" which also appears here.

Golden Earring revisits classics from the 60's.
Pure classic rock'n'roll with the special G.E.touch.
One of their best releases from the 90's in addition to FACE IT.

Most of these songs I've never even heard of, but it's because I'm too young. Sure I know Bob Seger's Turn The Page, but when it comes to most of the others, I'm blank. Most of this is dull 60's stuff. So what you have is dull covers of dull 60's songs. Motorbikin' is the best of all of them. If listening to covers of "My Little Red Book" "This Wheel's On Fire" and "Ballad Of A Thing Man" interest you, then you might be intersted, but I for one am not one of those people. Why couldn't they have done some covers of GOOD rock 'n roll? Why mouldy Dylan songs that nobody's heard of? This is one of their worst albums, right beside their late 70's work. It really is the pits. If you want 90's GE, you can buy Bloody Buccaneers, the live Last Blast Of The Century, Face It, Paradise In Distress, Naked Truth, or Naked II. So why would you waste your time on this stuff? Spend your money on Bloody Buccaneers (an axcellent album) instead. They should know better than to make an album of lame 60's covers.
