Another fabulous addition to Mr. O'Riley's edgy opus

"As always, Christopher O'Riley delivers!! I'm a great fan of O'Riley's Radiohead covers ... (and having bought his book of transcribed music, let me tell you, it is HARD!)... and I was thrilled to see that he had recorded another album of cover devotions. We have seen him in concert many times, and it's hard to compare a recording with the passion that comes through in his live performances, but this album delivers.
Since there seems to be some confusion about the original songs, I'll list the tracks. Christopher O'Riley plays (beautifully) all of the following on piano:
tori amos - mother
radiohead - all i need
elliott smith - new disaster
nirvana - heart-shaped box
portishead - the rip
pink floyd - us & them
tears for fears - woman in chains
cocteau twins - blue bell knoll
r.e.m. - world leader pretend
radiohead - videotape
the smiths - asleep
reid anderson (of The Bad Plus) - lost of love
I can't wait to see him in person again, but until we do, I'll be listening to this non-stop!
