4.0 out of 5 stars Tribute Album before the Phrase was Coined!, October 5, 2000

Not a tribute to any one artist, but an example of The Bobs' love of popular music. If you like the Bobs, you'll love to hear their renditions of the songs they love. All the songs on this album, have that Bobsian a'capella feel, so don't expect the rock tunes to rock out. One exception is "Whole Lotta Love," which definitely rocks, but for the most part, these songs have different tempos and feels than the originals. If you are new to the music of The Bobs, try "My I'm Large," and listen to their quirky originality. If you like it come back and try this one. The best tune, IMHO, on "Sing the Songs of..." is "You Really Got A Hold On Me." Very smooth and poignant.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flat Sound, November 14, 2009

The songs they are covering are great. The Bobs' arrangements are great. Yet this album just doesn't sound all that good. The sound is pretty flat, not doing justice to the tonal range of the singers. The bass doesn't come through as very bassy. The highs are probably accurately represented though.

Still, it's not horrible, just a little disappointing. "Come Together" is amazing, and the arrangements on most of the other songs are also impressive and entertaining.

I'd recommend you don't pay a fortune to get this new, but get the mp3s or a used copy instead. It isn't going to be the gem of your collection although you may find it enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected fun covers in a cappella delightful ways, January 16, 2006

Ok, so there's three songs on here where I don't think they get the best interpretations: 'Ring of Fire', 'Come Together' and 'Good Lovin''. 'Come Together' is probably one of 2 or 3 BEATLES songs that are not very satisfying for me (along with 'Hey Jude'). So, it could just be me on that one.

However, all the other covers are quite enjoyable, particularly when they do classic rock songs and rework them in their a cappella format. Delightful album. [e-mail]
