'These are all classics that are perfect in every sense, so who are we to mess with that?' Phillips said in the liner notes. Try as he might, Scantlin had to settle for par with this track. Same with AC/DC's 'T.N.T.,' which got off on the wrong foot with the yells of 'Hey, hey, hey!' instead of the late Bon Scott's 'Oi, oi, oi,' which makes it the vocal equivalent of one of those cheap foreign tool sets. If Scantlin went for a home run trying to follow Robert Plant on the Led ZeppelinвЂ™s 'D'yer Maker,' then he had to settle for a single to shallow right. Kiss made Music From The Elder after all. 'The Joker,' originally performed by The Steve Miller Band, is upbeat and a nice change of pace. The band dumps the clutch and kicks it into fourth gear with its version of Billy Squier's 'Everybody Wants You.' BC Jean steals the show and shows off her vocals when she teams up with Scantlin on 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around,' a 1981 duet by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty. There are other highlights throughout the disc. Scantlin does Paul Rodgers proud with his raspy chants - the band also covers the Rodgers-led Bad Company hit 'Shooting Star' on the album - and of course it wouldn't be a proper cover without the cowbell. Puddle of Mudd's version of Free's 'All Right Now,вЂќ nestled in the second half of the disc, is a hidden gem. As I've become an adult, I've realized that I have become my old man.'

'Old Man' by Neil Young and 'Rocket Man' by Elton John definitely hit exceptionally close to home. 'For me, it was very important that I could identify in a lyrical sense,' Scantlin said in the album's liner notes. There are a couple anxious moments in the rendition of Elton John's 'Rocket Man,' yet with Paul Phillips (guitar), Doug Ardito (bass) and Jeff Bowders (drums), they save it with a big chorus. Scantlin tackles Neil Young's 'Old Man' on the album's second track and did so with grace and class. The band tried to keep the integrity of the originals intact while putting its own, alternative/post-grunge/rock spin on them. That theme, for the most part, was carried out through the 11-track collection, which was produced by Bill Appleberry. The offering still has that bluesy feel - replete with female backing vocals. Puddle of Mudd and lead vocalist Wes Scantlin hit the ground running with a revved up version of The Rolling Stones' 1971 classic 'Gimme Shelter.' But it didn't turn Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' masterpiece upside down. Call it your Mom's (or Grandma's) Puddle of Mudd. OK, so this isn't YOUR Puddle of Mudd on Re:(disc)overed. ('I love the way you look at me / I love the way you smack my ass / I love the dirty things you do / I have control of you.').

This coming from a band that gave us 'Control' in 2001.
