Argentinian power pop maestro Juan Pablo Mazzola pays tribute to his heroes on his new Just Covers album, the latest release from his Baby Scream project. It's mixed bag of reworked mainstream hits like I'm Not In Love, Karma Chameleon and Time After Time, a surprisingly gentle version of Sepultura's Roots Bloody Roots and a touching adaptation of Aaron Neville's Tell It Like It Is.
While all of the afore mentioned tracks will be familiar to most listeners, the inclusion of songs from the hugely underrated Fastball (Warm Fuzzy Feeling) and Orville Stoeber's Stay Forever, My Love, from of the cult horror classic Let's Scare Jessica to Death, make this collection more that just a sop gap release. Mazzola always inserts a little off-kilter weirdness into his own songs and thankfully that signature approach is still very much present on this album as well.
Just Covers is a self-released album. Buy it from his website.
