A Tribute To Huey Lewis & The News “Are You With Me So Far?”
From Stereogum: Won’t be ’til next year, but brace yourself for a project being billed as a joke gone, well, right: Are You Still With Me?!, a tribute to Huey Lewis. Conceived over laughs in ’04, the project’s coming to fruition in ’08, and it’s got some fun folks in tow. Yes, these indie cover comps are everywhere, some trying to take themselves more seriously than others. We had Guilt By Association where folks like Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Petra Haden (ironically?) covered the likes of Mariah Carey and Journey, but it’s a whole other bag with Huey Lewis. “Stuck With You”? “I Want A New Drug”? “If This Is It”? Back To The Future?! Maybe there’s a tad of guilt in confessing undiminished love for those pearls, but c’mon, Huey had the touch. And his touch was good.
