If you’re a fan of Sixties music, you’ll enjoy Mayer Hawthorne’s A Strange Arrangment. Mayer Hawthorne has created a faux-Motown CD with songs that are clever imitations of his favorite song-writers: Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, Barry White, Smokey Robinson and Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, and Edward Holland, Jr. It’s a fun CD to listen to.
