The third in a series of records benefiting the Sweet Relief Foundation -- a
charity that provides health-related assistance to musicians in need -- Pennies
from Heaven doesn't pay tribute to a specific artist, the way that the Victoria
Williams-devoted first set did, or how the second consisted of nothing but
covers of Vic Chesnutt. Both Williams and Chesnutt were musicians in need and
this time, the ailing musician is behind the scenes: producer Sheldon Gomberg
suffers from multiple sclerosis. Gomberg produces a variety of adult alternative
artists singing sweet, tasteful covers of their favorite songs. Some, like Ron
Sexsmith and Sam Phillips, choose old standards, while others -- like Rickie Lee
Jones, GeneviΘve Toupin, and Tina Schlieske -- opt for the classic rock
songbook, but it's all tied together by gentle, unhurried arrangements and a
soft touch. Sometimes, the feel is slightly too transparent -- in the hands of
She & Him, "King of the Road" turns sugary -- but everything is pleasant and
sweet, the kind of record that soothes for a good cause. ~ Stephen Thomas
