Artist:
Cake
Description:
Cake: John McCrea (acoustic guitar); Vince DiFiore (keyboard); Gabriel Nelson, Xan McCurdy (background vocals).
Additional personnel: Greg Brown, Tyler Pope (guitar); Victor Damiani (bass guitar); Todd Roper, Pete McNeal, Paulo Baldi (drums).
In a way, a B-sides collection is the perfect vehicle for Cake, a band whose wry, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink aesthetic seems to approach music through the back door. That aesthetic is on display, in all its quirky fun, on B-SIDE AND RARITIES, which finds the alt-rockers taking on a array of covers including Black Sabbath`s "War Pigs," Kenny Rogers`s "Ruby, Don`t Take Your Love To Town," and Barry White`s "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up." Cake`s appeal was always rooted in their ability to be smart, accomplished, and zany at the same time, and B-SIDES AND RARITIES delivers that combo in spades.
