Companion Track

A couple of months ago, I had the unique pleasure of seeing The Slackers perform a full set without front man Vic Ruggiero. While Vic Ruggiero's vocal and lyrical stylings are the main attraction I have to the band, it was very interesting to see Glen Pine sing the majority of the songs, and Dave Hillyard even sang on The Fool. They did two covers, A Minha Menina by Os Mutantes and We Can Work It Out by The Beatles. I don't know if I could get copies of them doing those tracks, but I think an interesting side cd would be of all of the tracks by The Slackers sung by somebody other than Vic, and maybe some instrumentals, depending on how much room there is.

It'd be a nice change of pace too, Slackers cds are very Vic oriented, and he does have a whole slew of solo cds too. I played the most recent Slackers cd for a friend and he commented that they were just playing Vic songs from his cds, but in the style of The Slackers.
