Ted Leo doesn't shy from name-dropping his idols, and that hero worship extends to his covers. His revved-up take on Split Enz's “Six Months in a Leaky Boat” betrays his love of New Wave power pop, while his electric strum through Ewan MacColl's “Dirty Old Town” blurs the line between folk and punk. That rootsy tilt is more pronounced in side project The Both, wherein Leo and Aimee Mann trade lines on jangly gems like “Volunteers of America.”
