And an excellent job was done with the cherry-picking of two songs from each with cuts like the peppy "Leave Me Alone," the subdued "Beat of My Heart" and the Nick Lowe-like "Under Her Spell" demonstrating his mastery of the pop idiom.

Among all the highlights are absolute gems like "First Bus to Babylon" and the oddly-named but rocking "Please Don't Put Me on a Slow Boat to Trowbridge."

And just to show that he hasn't lost his chops, Cornwell throws in a brand new sparkler "Live It and Breathe It" to round out this impressive collection.
