Fried Glass Onions - Memphis Meets the Beatles Vol. 2
|
Fried Glass Onions—Memphis Meets The Beatles Vol. 2 is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Fried Glass Onions—Memphis Meets The Beatles, released in early 2005. The connections between the lads from Liverpool and Memphis are many. The band openly acknowledged their love of Memphis blues, soul and rockabilly. The musical revolution unleashed in Memphis in the ‘50s set the stage for the cultural and musical phenomenon of The Beatles. In 1966, they had planned to record at the legendary Stax studio, but the sessions never took place.
This recording offers another 12 tracks of soulful, Memphis interpretations of The Beatles original songs performed by Memphis’ ace musicians and singers. Through it all, the magic of The Beatles is never lost and, in many ways, these recordings take the originals to another level. From the opening Hi Records inspired “Glass Onion” with John Kilzer, to the gospel-inspired finale “All You Need Is Love,” Fried Glass Onions Vol. 2 captures the essence of Memphis soul and the heart of The Beatles.
Other tracks include Charlie Wood’s “Back In The U.S.S.R.,” a bluesy rendition with a punch. Gary Johns’ jazzy, intimate “I Wanna Be Your Man” totally changes-up this early Beatles rocker. On “Lady Madonna” veteran Memphis singer Eddie Harrison adds a little funk to this Beatles hit song; while the lesser known “For You Blue” is performed by The Billy Gibson Band in a groove only a Memphis band could imagine. Dani’s emotional rendering of McCartney’s “Oh! Darling” showcases the vocal talents of this rising star. “Martha My Dear” is the sole instrumental on this CD and is a Dixieland Jazz rendition complete with trumpet, washboard, banjo, tuba, trombone, piano and clarinet! Memphis soul diva Z-Da sings and shrieks on “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?” like a women possessed. Charles Ponder’s beautiful “In My Life” is absolutely striking in its understated intimacy. Soul veterans The Memphis All-Stars lay back on “Here, There and Everywhere” and allow singer Robert Clayborne cut-loose on this early Beatles ballad.
Fried Glass Onions—Memphis Meets The Beatles Vol. 2 will be heavily promoted and promises to be even more successful than the first volume. |
