Another post in regards to my new project to add reviews to my website.
The most recent filk album I purchased was Mr. Smith Goes to the Hospital. This is a benefit album for recently injured filker Tom Smith, and is therefore a collection of Tom Smith covers donated by various friends and filkers (about thirty artists, and even more songs). It was a project thrown together very quickly and most of the tracks reflect that, but Tom writes really good songs, most of them hilariously funny, and some powerful. (But I cannot guarantee that these songs are work safe… you have been warned.) Normally I wouldn’t be too interested in an album of Tom Smith covers, because Tom is such an excellent performer I usually just go direct to the source, but hey it’s for a good cause. 🙂
Favorite track: Amy McNally’s violin rendition of “Dervish”
