Be the first to review this product

This Utah sextet opens up their first album with a catchy cover of the Baha Men's "Best Years of Our Lives" - arranged by none other than Toxic Audio's Michelle Mailhot-Valines. Michelle also helps out on jazzy-campy "I Love You," contributing both arranging and vocals - love that bass line! The group definitely has a sense of humor, especially on Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You," silly "Redneck Avenger" (to the tune of the old Under Dog theme song) and a pretty palatable cover of that infamous 'lion song' with "Welcome to the Jungle" (no, it doesn't sound like the Guns and Roses version, but it's pretty fun nonetheless).

The second half of the album is a little more straight-forward, with a beautifully sung nod to their LDS faith in "Precious Lord," and covers of Paul Simon, Credence Clearwater Revival, and this reviewer's favorite cover on the album, U2's "All I Want." Other than the last little bizarre track on the album, it's a pretty solid collection of pop and humorous songs. They don't use a lot of vocal percussion, but focus more on tight harmonies and groovy bass lines. These guys are having a blast, and they want to take you along for the ride! (32:02 2002)
