You Can't Do That

2017-05-05

A pretty neat album here. The tracks on here are all Beatles Tunes obviously, but with a bit of blues spin to them. It is actually pretty cool sounding and awesome to hear some of these tracks change and be more Blues/Soul oriented. I like how they had the Harmonica and Trumpet to a few of the tracks. In particular the versions of "Can't Buy Me Love," "Lady Madonna," and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" are pretty awesome renditions. I liked it quite a bit, and was nice to hear how they put their spin on classic Beatles Tunes. Their voices sound pretty similar to Rick Estrin, and goes hand in hand with Harmonica that Rick plays as well. Well worth it to give it a listen/spin.
