Ready for a musical flashback? Matthew and ex-Bangle Susanna covered 1960s hits in Vol. 1. Now the pair of pop vets are back to harmonize their way through ’70s classics, tackling power-pop (the Raspberries’ “Go All the Way”), glam (Mott the Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes”) and prog-rock (Yes’ “I’ve Seen All Good People”). Throw in a little Rod Stewart, Tom Petty, Carly Simon, Todd Rundgren and a couple of ex-Beatles and the whole sweetly nostalgic package amounts to a deliciously fun-filled summer jukebox.Reviews
