Album Notes

This 19-track CD features covers of songs spanning Mr. Bowie's career from "Space Oddity" to "Heathen," performed by such diverse acts as Tegan and Sara (they've been on MTV, MuchMusic, the cover of Rockrgrl magazine, etc.), The Switchblade Kittens, Shesus, Astrid Young (of Neil Young's band), and Essra Mohawk, whose 1970 release "Primordial Lovers" was cited in a 1977 Rolling Stone review as one of the "25 all-time best albums."

The compilation also features the band Lunasect, whose contribution to the "Anyone Can Play Radiohead" tribute CD was singled out in another Rolling Stone review (July 11, 2001) as the only "track which shows glimpse of the promise this album might have had."

The cover art features a classic 1972 photo of David Bowie from legendary rock photographer Mick Rock.
