My favorites on this set, as I wrote in my editorial review for Amazon.com
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BTJCHW) were Ian Gomm's new version
of "Cruel to Be Kind," Foster & Lloyd's "Without Love," Greg Trooper's
"What's Shaking on the Hill," and James Intveld's "Lonesome Reverie."
But--as I also wrote--I'd rather have new music from Nick. I understand
that may come later this year. I hope the rumors turn out to be true.
