Amy winehouse lioness hidden treasures

Winehouse always had a tendency to over sing on stage, though. It also provides an excuse to lead the album with a 2004 take of 'Know You Now' that's a marked improvement on the Frank recording. That covers up for the fact that only two tracks here were recorded in the rocky 2007-2011 period: a blaring 'Just Friends' and a stripped-down 'Love Is a Losing Game', both from 2009. And it's sequenced in order of her albums' original release rather than in order of the performances- all the Frank songs, then all the Back to Black songs, then the other stuff. It adds two otherwise unreleased titles to the Winehouse discography: covers of the standards 'I Should Care' and 'Lullaby of Birdland', from the latter of which Winehouse borrowed a bit for her own 'October Song'. So- perhaps a set of radio recordings, then? That's something, right? At the BBC cherrypicks 48 minutes' worth of tracks from live-on-stage and live-in-the-studio broadcasts.
