about

"The irreverent-but-still-faithful take on Abbey Road is apparent from the very beginning, as “Come Together” adopts a looser, less sinister arrangement from the original, with Amanda O’Keefe – one of several rotating vocalists on this project – belting out John Lennon‘s words with funky, torch song abandon, especially as the band unleashes a gospel-flavored outro that DeMello likens to “a funeral march”. On the other hand, George Harrison‘s timeless ballad “Something” is lovingly rougher around the edges but retains some similarities, including a note-for-note version of Harrison’s guitar solo, welcoming the listener like an old friend."
- Chris Ingalls, Pop Matters 12/4/23

For the Looks - Liz, Busi, Roo, Amanda - never say goodbye. From now til the next whenever! And for my papa bear, whose copy of this I stole. Many times. - January, 2023
