!! ''Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook'' demonstrates the following tropes:
* BluesRock: Already the style for several of these songs; others become such in the album's arrangements.
* CallAndResponseSong: "The Word"
* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: "Salt Of The Earth" features an extra verse dealing with AIDS - arguably AVerySpecialEpisode.
* TheCoverChangesTheGender: Applies wherever relevant - "Maybe I'm a woman..." and so forth.
* CoverAlbum
* FakeOutFadeOut: "The Word" features a fake ending at 2:40.
* {{Irony}}: "No Time To Live" is a song about being LonelyAtTheTop, here sung by a woman who notoriously failed to reach such heights for most of her career.
* RearrangeTheSong: Generally, slowed down to put more emphasis on the vocals with additional string elements. "The Word" ends up sounding the most like classic soul (as opposed to ''Music/RubberSoul''?).
* RecordProducer: Andy Kaulkin, Rob Mathes, and [=LaVette=] herself are all credited. Mathes is also credited with much of the arranging work and several instrumental contributions.
* {{Scatting}}: [=LaVette=] occasionally scats a part usually done instrumentally.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Music/TheBeatles - one solo song for each of three members and one Lennon/[=McCartney=] song by the band itself, making up nearly a third of the album.
