| ...badly... It’s one of the more interesting approaches to a covers record. Todd Rundgren has put together an album of his versions of songs that he’s produced for other artists during the past few decades. According to an interview he did with PopMatters, Rundgren covers Meat Loaf, Cheap Trick, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, Patti Smith and others on the new album. “[The album] essentially is new versions of songs that I produced for other people, and they’re mostly all dance versions,” he said. “So I had to do arrangements that were completely unlike the originals; there was simply no point in me aping what I had done already. So all of the songs have some twist, or unique approach to them that makes them not necessarily recognizable at first.” The album, called (Re)Production, includes XTC’s “Dear God,” Cheap Trick’s “I Can’t Take It,” Meat Loaf’s “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” Patti Smith’s “Dancing Barefoot” and The Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way.” Rundgren has released another covers project involving the songs of Robert Johnson. The title: Todd Rundgren’s Johnson. | |
