Mike Doughty takes on songs by John Denver, Cheap Trick, the Stone Roses, Stephen Sondheim and more on his new covers album, The Flip Is Another Honey. The title, taken from a 1956 Variety review of a Jerry Lee Lewis single, means 'the b-side is also fantastic.'
Doughty played, or programmed, every sound on the album, with the exception of three tracks: 'Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat,' Sondheim's 'Send In the Clowns,' and Newman's 'God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)' - which were performed live in the studio with Doughty's longtime collaborators keyboardist 'Cashmere' Dan Chen and cellist Andrew 'Scrap' Livingston.
