Money, who started as a New York cop moonlighting in bar bands, became a likable meathead of a rock star in the Eighties. Now he's returned to his musical roots (although he apparently hasn't reclaimed the badge) with a dozen cover versions of hoary rock crowd-pleasers, from "Land of 1000 Dances" to "Build Me Up Buttercup." Money's liner notes feature lots of exclamation points ("A real tear-jerker! Ray Charles is so cool!"); alas, Money brings nothing to these songs except enthusiasm.
