Frank (B-Sides) – Amy WinehouseView More By Amy Winehouse Our ReviewWhere Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black: B-Sides is a collection heavy on the covers (she only wrote two songs on it), her 2008 collection Frank (B-Sides) is heavier on original compositions that didn’t make it onto her 2003 debut album Frank. It opens with a demo of “Take the Box” sounding a little less refined and produced than the finished version, but the vintage keyboards are more prominent and the minimal drum machine recalls Timmy Thomas’ 1970s recordings. A spare take of “I Heard Love Is Blind” follows with a coffeehouse intimacy — a jazzy guitar is her sole accompaniment here. A sublime take on George Gershwin’s “Someone to Watch Over Me” plays with a sultry, smoky lounge feel..

WONDERFUL (5 stars) This is a wonderful album, easy to listen to, and a pleasure to hear. Definitely worth the buy. Keep 'em coming Amy!! Finally !! (5 stars) Finally, Amy fans can enjoy b-sides and rare tracks from her. I recommend, "Teach Me Tonight" and 'Fool's Gold" among others. Thanks iTunes!
