Highlights are "MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY," surprisingly Prince's "I FEEL FOR YOU" and of course the Queen Classic "Somebody to love" which guitarist May guests on. Must have.

Can't find one.

General Comments

Catherine Porter is a glorious voice on some of the best loved songs ever. There's a catch. They've reinvented the songs. Not for purists. If you can't bear to hear someone tackle a Freddy Mercury song like she has done here on Somebody to love (and brilliantly, I might add), then this isn't for you. But the fact that the wonderful Porter and her producers got songs like "Native New Yorker," "Summer of 69" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" to make sense on one album, is astounding. You will chill with a glass of wine to this one...
