Reader Reviews
I love Mark Eitzel and his band American Music Club, but I really can't sit through this album. The music rarely comes close to the haunting beauty of that in his own songs. And his vocals are more subdued (in a bad way) than on any of his other albums. The only covers that I really enjoy here are "Snowbird" and "I Only Have Eyes For You," both of which are quite different from the originals. By the way, everyone I've come across who loved the original versions pretty much dislike these covers. Basically, the point I really want to get across in this review is that this is the worst introduction to a brilliant body of work I could possibly think of. Please do not buy this if you've never heard Eitzel's solo work or his more amazing work with American Music Club. Instead, I'd recommend AMC's "Everclear" or "Mercury" or Eitzel's "60 Watt Silver Lining" or "The Invisible Man." Oh, and don't buy "West" as an introduction, either. Thanks, Peter Buck (R.E.M.), for that disaster. ; ) Long-time Eitzel/AMC fans will most likely find "Music for Courage and Confidence" an interesting and fun listen, but it'll probably leave the CD player after the first few spins.
