This album just continues their greatness and they&#8217;re getting a much wider release and YAY for them.  I can&#8217;t really even pick a favorite song or two because everytime I listen I either a) love them all or b) completely change my mind on which one is best!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sons of Anarchy: North Country EP <\/strong>&#8211; Yes, that&#8217;s right, my favorite show of the year is also releasing little EP soundtracks.  And they&#8217;re awesome.  This one has &#8220;John the Revelator&#8221; from Curtis Stigers, the song from the season 1 finale, which is so great.  And the &#8220;Forever Young&#8221; cover by Audra Mae is just lovely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glee &#8211; The Music, Vol. 1<\/strong> &#8211; I had bought a lot of these as singles as they were released, so I just finished up the album with what I hadn&#8217;t already bought.  This show is, for the most part, a LOT of fun and so are the covers.  I have this random, not well thought out at all, theory that covers are ALMOST ALWAYS good because it&#8217;s so hard to ruin a good song. Whereas movie remakes, there are just SO many places those can go wrong.  And some of these are not just good or decent covers&#8230;some of these are GREAT!

Some of this is really pretty &#8211; I really like &#8220;Earthly Bodies&#8221; and &#8220;Year in the Kingdom&#8221; but I can&#8217;t listen to it as a whole album: too overall &#8220;on the same note&#8221; \/ too slow and methodical.
