* CoveredUp: An odd example. ''Pray Naked'' contains two covers of songs by the obscure band The Strawmen ("Phony Eyes" and "Deep End"). That band featured Mark Harmon and David Leonhardt, the bassist and guitarist of the 77s, with Harmon's brother Bill on vocals; the 77s versions use the same musical tracks, adding Roe's vocals and guitar over the top. Most fans prefer the new versions.
