Was just listening to this in the car the other day. Great record, better than In Utero IMO.

Fantastic. Great versions of Nirvana tracks, but also the Meat Puppets and Bowie. Showed the personable side of Kurt Cobain.

Where Did You Sleep Last Night - is even more amazing cover (Leadbelly)

This is the first time I actually bothered looking at what the cover was...

And it was a good show Smile

Not sure if it should be considered a 'great album' though. I wish he had recorded an acoustic set of covers....but I guess that's a hopeless dream Confused

Every time I listen to this, I end up thinking it's not really Nirvana.

This could have been the way forward for Nirvana if Kurt hadn't got himself into such a bad place. His favourite album at the time was 'Automatic For The People' and REM's Michael Stipe had been trying in vain to reach out to Kurt and collaborate on some tracks... It wasn't to be Crying or Very sad

Anyway, this is Michael Stipe's tribute

Doesn't get any better than this one. My personal favorite song on this album would be this one.
