Sid & Susie a/k/a Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs: Under The Covers

By Jack Brummet, 20th Century Music Ed.



I only discovered the amazing Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs collaborations a couple of weeks ago.  I instantly went out and tracked down their works (bought local!), and have been gorging on them ever since.  Wow.  These are two artists I have very much liked independent of each other.  But together?  Unbelievable.  The voices, and their sensibilities are just stunning.  Go buy all their music!
