They are all classics of the period which don't really need much, if any, enhancement. As an oldster I remember every tune well but I think there is a large percentage of the music listening public who isn't really very familiar with them at all. I think "What's that Sound?" is going to be an excellent time capsule of an important time in history, musically and otherwise.
How true! I've read some comments for BIY such as "I'm not interested in an album of covers". Come on! For a huge segment of the listening population, these are brand new songs to them. I know my adult kids (Haley's age) have never heard them on the radio-- unless it was on the Sirius XM station Classic Vinyl while in the car with me. On the other hand, there are quite a few people my age and older (who appreciate a 'real' singer) who remember these tunes, and will feel a connection to the album. That's the brilliance of Haley's/Concord's strategy. There's something for a lot of people.
As to the growling in The Letter, I think the amount was just right. She pulls it out of the bag at the end there, and it was awesome.
