Anyone who has read my posts over the past few years probably is aware of the fact that I am a fanatical follower of the now defunct Boston band Scruffy The Cat.Anyway the lead singer and main songwriter Charlie Chesterman has been stricken with cancer and his medical bills are quickly growing.Some of Charlie's closest friends and supporters have formed a charity to provide funds to help Charlie in his fight. They have formed a Facebook page simply called "Friends of Charlie Chesterman" and have assembled a group of 2 dozen bands and musical acts who love Charlie and the music that he did with Scruffy,Chas and The Motorbikes and other bands he has played with plus his solo work.The album is all covers of songs that he wrote so that he not only gets the money from the sale of Cds but also gets the royalties.

There are some brilliant covers on this CD such as Orange Nichole's fabulous cover of "Sexy Rickenbacker" and Letters to Cleo does a cover of my favourite Scruffy The Cat song:"You Dirty Rat".Some other bands are Young Fresh Fellows,The Vivs,Classic Ruins,The Farewells and several other well known alternative bands.Please help out another musician who critic Alex Green said is one of the best American songwriters of the last 25 years..This wouldn't be a donation as such because for just $19.98 plus a small shipping charge you are getting a great set of 24 songs by some great bands. You can order them from: http://www.charliechesterman.com/ or go to the "Friends of Charlie Chesterman" Facebook page and get the link or you can order it from http://www.amazon.com/ There are about 2 cuts that could have been better but the rest are stellar.
