From 'The Flip Is Another Honey'
http://mikedoughty.com/TFIAH
The title of Mike Doughty's 'The Flip Is Another Honey', taken from a 1957 Variety Review of a Jerry Lee Lewis single, means "the b-side is also fantastic." Doughty covers tunes from surprising sources, like John Denver, Cheap Trick, and the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a cover of the John Denver song, sung with Rosanne Cash; "Sunshine" finds Doughty rapping Doughty-esque-ly around samples of Denver's voice. "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" is a straight-up version of the song from Guys and Dolls; "Reach Out" is an obscure Cheap Trick tune from the soundtrack of the early 80's animated film Heavy Metal--which segues into a version of Josh Wink's 90's EDM classic, "Higher State of Consciousness". Except for three songs that were performed live, in the studio, with a cello and piano, Doughty played, or programmed, every sound.

Sorry, I could not stand this song when John Denver did it, and unlike "Sunshine", Doughty hasn't done anything special with this song. Except for having Rosanne Cash sing on it. But if he's just going to sing over her, what's the point? I'm as disappointed with this one as I am excited with "Sunshine."

Totally hooked already! That's the groove, that's the laid back delivery, that's the keys, that's THE Rosanne Cash, this is just great! Hooked!
