I had no idea there was so many covers on this album. Or that Mark Knopfler wrote the title track. Tina's version of Let's Stay Together was the first time I heard this song. It remains a favourite to this day. The 80's production dates the album. But still a decent voice and a great choice of songs. Even 1984 is half decent.
I wanted to like this. I love Tina's voice and she has sung on some of the greatest singles ever released (River Deep and Nutbush, to name two). Sadly, this is less than the sum of its parts. Heaven 17? Check. Bowie, Beatles and Peebles? Check. Sadly, this has been produced to within an inch of its life, killed off, and then not quite revived. I can't get past the slickness, the polishing off of any interesting edge. The title track is interesting as a period piece, I guess, but the album sounds like the Eighties, and not in a good way.
