Review about Tracks of My Tears ------Performed by Gavin DeGraw | 08/24/2005 11:00:00 AM As Good As the Orignals 7 out of 7 Found the view helpful As a fan of music I have a hard time when anybody redoes a song. Let's be honest most songs that are redone fall short of what the original artist intended i.e. Madonna's American Pie, however I'm happy to say that Gavin Degraw's renditions set the bar. From the first note out of Mr. Degraw's mouth you are drawn in, and when you listen to him sing the words that Smoky made timeless you can feel the covered angst; yet can't help but sing along. For me the best is hearing it put together with Sam Cooke's "Cupid", because when you've lost you're lover, all you want is for "love" to draw you back together. Mr. Degraw has a keen sense of what the music is about, and doesn't try to change it, he adds a little bit of soul, and quite possibly personal experience to make these classics his own. Thanks to Stefanie for submitting the review.
