If you are a fan of the piano you should check this out. This O'Riley guy knows how to play. To be completely honest, I don't even care for Elliot Smith. I got this CD for my girlfriend, and have listened to it a few times now, and even without knowing Smith's songs all that well I am a huge fan of ORiley's take on them. The cd can be slow at times, but so is any "concerto" so to say. The "Everything is Nothing to Me" track is phenomenal. I'd say if you are a fan of Smith's work you should check this CD out.
What's great about it: Perfectly executed, not as depressing as the real thing
What's not so great: Constantly reminded of Elliot Smith
