Dale Turner's "Interpretations" album was, at first, a little hard to get into. But once I got past the first initial shock of an acoustic version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" , not the best way to start off a CD, in fact the first track alone left me wondering if this was a comedy CD.......by the way, it's not. The rest of it, however, was pretty good.

In addition to Bohemian Rhapsody, it has "Blackbird" originally performed by The Beatles, "Hallelujah" which you might know from the Shrek Soundtrack, and a slightly off-putting rendition of "Coconut" which you may remember from that scene in Practical Magic where they all dance around in the kitchen drinking margaritas. Even though I prefer the original versions of  all these songs (especially Bohemian Rhapsody), I did find this album to be cool in it's own right. I mean it is called "Interpretations" I think that gives you creative license to do what you want.

From one to five, this one gets a 3 for effort.
