1. He Called Me baby – Patsy Cline And The Jordainaires – The  surprise here is that when you think of Presley's backing band, you think of country boys helping invent rock and roll. But what you get here is country boys helping invent countrypolitan.

2. Soulshine – Govt mule – Sorta the Allman Brothers with shorter jams and sharper elbows. This sounds like southern brewed soul. A true beauty.

3. Love machine – The Miracles – Smokey taking a backseat on this prot-disco workout.

4. Dreaming Of Paris – Van Dykes Park – Artistic, strange, melodic but difficult to get through, with a lacing of French folk.

5.Leeloo – For Science – Live version of the punk- pop mini-classic, taken at twice the speed of the original… like they've got a big broom.

6. Crossed Out Name – Ryan  Adams – Wanna know the difference between nyc and l.a.? Compare this to anything on Ashes And Rain. Then wonder what the fuck got him to leave. then take a look at Mandy Moore… Best line? "For everything there is a word, for everything but this".

7. Blue Skies – Noah And The Whale – Another reason Ryan and Charlie used to be better? Heartache makes for better songs than true love.

8. The Last Word – For Science –  Of course, is theirs.

9. Salinas – Laura Marling

10. I Love You So Much It Hurts Me – Patsy Cline And the Jordainaires
