Comment:

Liner note:

"For some recording artists, singing in another language was the ill-advised aesthetic decision that drove the final nail in the coffins of their already floundering careers; while for others, singing in their own language was enough to vacuum seal their fates. For all, music was the common language they shared. Music is my Second Language is a collection of songs by those who found their poetic voice in another language, with a few excursions into related themes of alienation and the struggle to find just the right words-in any language-to express (and inflict) human suffering. Join them, won't you, in this most melodious of Towers of Babel. And resist not the temptation to warble along. You'll kick yourself if you don't."

Thanks to the following for source material:

P the Swede for Parker, Bob Hund; LucyIsBlue for Les Miladys, Les Coquettes, Les Mersey's; Lo-fi Jr. via Buglady for The Playboys; and finally, Thomas Mohr for the German versions of Brenda Lee and Ken Curtis.

Hi all! It's been a long time since I've posted something here and it'll probably be another long time before I do again. This is a mix for another CD club I belong to that has one annual submission per year. This is my "this year's" entry.
