Review:
When I heard about Jenny Oaks Baker's new album I thought it would be fun to review. I've never been great at identifying songs or artists, but I recognized most of these songs by their titles, and thought my husband would like it since the songs are right up his alley.
This album did not disappoint. I've only had it for a couple of days, but I'm totally content putting it on repeat to accompany me at work, in the car, or at home. I love the instrumental version of these songs. It's not distracting, and is great background music.
Classic: The Rock Album is a fun collection of songs, and very well done.
