Back to Back to Black

An uneven track by track tribute to the Winehouse album compiled by Q magazine; the weakest entries come across like novelty versions, but the best are pretty good...those would be Dry the River's folky take on "Me & Mr Jones", the fractured but still grand version of "Back to Black" by the Cribs, "Love is a Losing Game" being turned into something sounding like a lost soft-rock classic from the 70s by the Temper Trap, and the Balearic Folk Orchestra's (great name!) pretty "He Can Only Hold Her".
