No less than eight other albums have been titled Cover Me, perhaps the most famous being the Rhino Records collection of Bruce Springsteen copyrights as portrayed/emulated by various artists who had some success with tunes by the Boss. The first release on the It's About Music label is a reason to rejoice -- the return of Andy Pratt with Mark Doyle, the guitarist from Pratt's original band. This compilation is a delight in part because Pratt is not known for doing renditions of OPM -- other people's music. His excellent 1980s version of the Beatles' I'm Only Sleeping, produced by Modern Lover Leroy Radcliffe, got limited distribution until recently, while covers of 19th Nervous Breakdown and Town Without Pity are on the I'm Alright album released after this. There aren't the production values of Fun in the First World or Pratt's Christian discs; produced and arranged in Doyle's home studio in New York, it is a remarkable look at a serious artist -- repeat, an artist known for being very, very serious -- having some fun with a friend from his past. Pratt lets his hair hang down in Charlie Rich's Behind Closed Doors, a truly innovative take on the country-pop classic, while Aaron Neville's 1966 signature tune, Tell It Like It Is, works even better.
