About time. The absolute masters of the creative and innovative cover. Their Ooh Las Vegas (from the 1999 Gram tribute album) is a thing of beauty to be savoured loud through headphones. I’m such a fanboy that I once waited after a CJ gig just to let Margo know how much I appreciated that track and she graciously agreed “It came out pretty good didn’t it?”. Glad it’ll get a wider hearing now.
