Covers is a compilation album by The Smithereens, released in May 2018 by Sunset Blvd Records.[1] It was originally released as a digital download on iTunes in May 2014.[2] The album features 22 cover songs recorded by the band between 1980 and 2008. Most of the songs have previously been released as b-sides or on tribute albums and soundtracks.

Background

Covers features songs that are collected from different sessions throughout the band's career.[3] Guitarist Jim Babjak: “Whenever we had extra time in the studio we’d knock off covers for fun."[4]

Critical reception

{{Album reviews
|rev1 = Illinois Entertainer
| rev1Score = {{Rating|7|10}} [5]
}}Jeff Elbel of the Illinois Entertainer rated the album 7 stars out of 10, stating: "If these songs represent the Smithereens' schoolbooks, Covers is the thesis supporting the band's tenured status as professors and proclaimers of perfect power pop."[6]
