1. Baby Ride Easy – Johnny And Jane Carter Cash – So now we know where Dave Edmunds and Carlene Carter heard it, Johnny and June covering the song for one Billy Sherrill back in the 80s. Not bad, and the fiddle break is more than that, but Dave and Carlene jumped for joy all the way through their version – B+
2. I’m Not Okay (I Promise) – My Chemical Romance – Gerard’s first masterpiece lead directly to his superstar performance on the next album – A
3. Dare (La La La) – Shakira – Despite Rihanna’s appearance on the first single, this opening track is the one they should have pulled – B+
4. The Only Thing – The Hold Steady – Wow, where is the song here? A riff and a drone and we’re there – C
5. I’m No Gold – Liars – Less than thrilling electronica but with a steady beat – C+
6. I Fall In Love Too Easily – Miles Davis – From the Filmore east 1970 album, I bet he played it just to remind us he could at will – A
7. Sir Duke – Nathan East – Entirely credible version – B
8. Acapella – Karmin – Best song on the newbie is slightly addictive dance pop – B+
9. Brown Sugar – D’Angelo – Off the live at the Jazz Club, better than the recorded version – A
10. The Babe – The Baseball Project – How can this suck so back? – C-
