Here's what Pitchfork says:
QUOTE Sufjan, Fiery Furnaces Head Rubber Soul Tribute Rob Kleckner reports: In a shocking turn of events, we are pleased to report yet another Beatles tribute album. But this one's different, folks. It ain't just a big steaming pile of "Yesterday" and "Across the Universe" covers (for the love of God, please, stop covering these songs!). This album is a track-by-track run through of the Beatles' 1965 masterpiece (aren't they all?) Rubber Soul. It's titled, appropriately, This Bird Has Flown - A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul, and will be released by Razor & Tie on October 25. Featured on the album are Sufjan Stevens, the Fiery Furnaces, Ted Leo, Low, Nellie McKay, and a few others. The album was produced by Jim Sampas, who producer a Bruce Springsteen tribute album in 2002. Sampas says, "As we looked toward artists we would approach, we felt they should be kindred spirits, whose gifts for singing and arranging lend themselves to these melodies and themes. Each artist on this album brought their own fascinating interpretations and have extracted new meanings from Rubber Soul." This thing is chock full of Bens, too. Harper on "Michelle", Lee with "In My Life", and Kweller doing "Wait". What, are the Beatles too good for you, Folds? Oh wait, no, you did "Golden Slumbers" for the I Am Sam soundtrack. How about you finish that medley, you Abbey Road elitist! "Oh, look at me, I'm too cool for pre- Revolver Beatles!" Tracklist: 01 Drive My Car - The Donnas 02 Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) - The Fiery Furnaces 03 You Won't See Me - Dar Williams 04 Nowhere Man - Low 05 Think for Yourself - Yonder Mountain String Band 06 The Word - Mindy Smith 07 Michelle - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals 08 What Goes On - Sufjan Stevens 09 Girl - Rhett Miller 10 I'm Looking Through You - Ted Leo 11 In My Life - Ben Lee 12 Wait - Ben Kweller 13 If I Needed Someone - Nellie McKay 14 Run for Your Life - Cowboy Junkies * Razor & Tie: http:// razorandtie.com/ Sounds pretty cool to me. Rubber Soul's my fave Beatles album. -------------------- Recently Played Songs:

 Then again, I haven't heard any of the cover artists. Perhaps some of the covers will be good, and I'll discover some new music because of it. (Wow, I'm not usually that optimistic). |
