Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Covers

Acollection of covers by the Red Hot Chili Peppers-- mostly previously released-- blending studio and live recordings, "Under the Covers" makes for a unique and fun portrait of the band.

The Peppers are a fearless cover band, tackling everything from Hank Williams to Robert Johnson to Jimi Hendrix to Sly and the Family Stone without flinching. One thing that can be said about them is that they make everything their own-- even though this was recorded over a span of eight years, there's a remarkable sense of consistency to the sound and the music, with everything being assimulateed into the Chili Peppers' funk/punk sound-- Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" sits comfortably next to Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground". There's a remarkably high level of consistency. But more importantly, it's still really quite listenable.
