Album soaks up the spirit of NRBQ
By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY

Bonnie Raitt, Steve Earle and SpongeBob SquarePants are among the NRBQ
admirers contributing to The Q People, a tribute album due in early March on
Boston-based Spirithouse Records. The label stipulated that all artists
involved be devoted fans of the rootsy cult band. Tracks include Raitt's Me
& the Boys, Earle's A Girl Like That and Los Lobos' Over Your Head. Mike
Mills of R.E.M. tackles When Things Was Cheap, and Widespread Panic revives
Ain't No Horse.

SpongeBob, voiced by Tom Kenny, surfaces in a 17-minute audio cartoon
featuring a medley of NRBQ tunes. Also participating are Ron Sexsmith,
Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis and Yo la Tengo. Formed in Miami in 1967, NRBQ (New
Rhythm and Blues Quartet) has sold 27 million albums worldwide.
