The Bird and the Bee meet Hall & Oates with The Bird and the Bee’s newest release – Interpreting the Masters Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates. (The Bird and the Bee and Goldfrapp release an album on the same day. Could things get any better?)
Inara George and Greg Kurstin cover classic Hall & Oates songs while adding their own unique style. The CD is a treat for both fans of the Bird and the Bee and fans of Hall & Oates. If you’re a fan of both groups, it’s bliss.
Also included on the album is the original track “Heard It On The Radio.”

Other interesting facts about the album:
– Shirley Manson of Garbage does backing vocals on “Maneater”
– The album cover closely resembles the artwork on Hall & Oates’ Private Eyes
WOW this album is awesome! I would have never ever listened to this band until this tribute. I may check out their other stuff now.
Thanks for linking to Street Date — this album is so terrific. It’s hard to pick a favorite but I think I’m digging “One on One” the most (and of course “Maneater”). If you haven’t heard this record you HAVE to give it a try…
