I really love how Renée Fleming sings the first track on the album. After I first heard the album, I was quite surprised to later find that she normally things a completely different style of music.
Of course I also really like Rickie Lee Jones' appearance on the album (I like her own albums).
I'm sure I'm the only one here who would say this but: I'd really love it if Childs did another album of this sort, covering a different artist. Maybe Joni Mitchell, or someone more contemporary like Suzanne Vega. Using yet another 10 different singers for the project while he's at it. I'd put my money on that CD first chance I got.
