They Say...
Normally the only thing worse than a tribute album is a tribute to an album. And no oneno onecan improve on a Beatles LP. But this veteran New Jersey trio amazingly pull off this cockamamie idea. The group are clearly worshipping disciples (as we all should be) of the Liverpool legends blockbuster breakthrough, Meet the Beatles, Capitols January 20, 1964, U.S. version of EMI U.K.s With the Beatles (with two singles added and five of its six covers subtractedall five of them later rushed out as part of Capitols subsequent Beatlemania cash-in Second Album). But rather than insipidly recreate a wild rock n roll masterpiece or irreverently recast it as something it isnt, they crash into a perfect middle ground: They reframe it as if it were recorded by The Raspberries, Big Star, Todd Rundgren, Flamin Groovies, or myriad other meaty, American power-popsters who updated a thorough Beatles blueprint in the 1970s. George Harrisons Dont Bother Me and John Lennons underappreciated classic Not a Second Time sound particularly fresh and poignant in this context. And much as he did when he sang The Whos Behind Blue Eyes a while back, Pat Dinizio is too smart to oversell the vocals or get carried away by their iconic ubiquity. And his guitars twist the chords into a stinging sharpness. Totally enjoyable and genuinely worthwhile!
