Uncut are particularly guilty of knocking out increasingly pointless compilations. "Hey, let's take 20 or so latter day cult-ish going-on-mainstream artists, possibly alt-country ones, and get them all to cover the works of long-established artist, possibly someone oft held responsible for the bubonic plague on music that is the crop of latter-day alt-country artists. Then we'll do it 10 or 20 times and hope everyone is too enthralled in the magazines nice big pictures of CSN&Y in fringed jackets/Byrds with suede jackets and moptops/that picture of '65 Dylan in the studio with a Fender bass on to notice." Nice work if you can get it....
BTW in my first message I meant "still wrapped" not "unwrapped".
