Description
Sometimes Just the Sky is not a greatest hits endeavor or a remastered compilation. It's not a celebration or a souvenir. It is a reimagining of a most unusual nature. It is a collection of songs written across the decades, recorded in bucolic western England at Real World Studios with the great producer Ethan Johns. Carpenter sat with new and old friends who circled together in a wooden room and made music, in real time. What we hear is precisely what was played and sung, all at once. There's a song originally recorded for each of Carpenter's original studio records, and then there's a new song, which was aided and abetted by hillside contemplation and a punk poet's advice.

Tracklist
1. Heroes And Heroines
2. What Does It Mean To Travel
3. I Have A Need For Solitude
4. One Small Heart
5. The Moon And St. Christopher
6. Superman
7. Naked To The Eye
8. Rhythm Of The Blues
9. This Is Love
10. Jericho
11. The Calling
12. This Shirt
13. Sometimes Just The Sky

In general, I'm in agreement with this. But this sounds like it could be more a reimagining or reinterpretation, and in more of a live setting. I'm interested to see what songs they pick.

Pretty much the same with the rerecording Kiss packaged with Sonic Boom. A couple interesting ones, but for the most part, meh.

I guess these self-covers albums are considered a safer bet for sales than albums of all-new material, especially for artists who appeal to a certain demographic.. I have no real issues with this, as long as the new versions bring new aspects to the material and aren't just rote remakes. Like everything, some are better than others.
