The Flip Is Another Honey (CD)
Mike Doughty
Amoeba Review
11/19/2012
From his days with stoner-rap outfit Soul Coughing, eccentric singer-songwriter Mike Doughty has been a hero to lovers of the wry, the warped, the weird and wondrous. His latest album title is a reference to a 1956 Variety review of a Jerry Lee Lewis single, and it's all covers, though with a distinct Doughty bent. With impeccable taste, he reworks several John Denver numbers, a Cheap Trick anthem, a little Randy Newman, a couple segues into musical theater, and then what do you know, a classic techno tune by Josh Wink, a couple Red House Painters and Low ditties, a little Sondheim and '60s French pop. Can you complain about any of that? No you cannot. Not only the flip is a honey, but the A-side is sweet as can be.
