Something Beatles by Free Country live, featuring Hank Roberts, Jim Yanda, Drew Gress, PHIL HAYNES

Collector's CD packaging available for this title via: www.cornerstorejazz.com/product/phil-haynes-free-country-live-something-beatles/

"This quartet of guitar, cello, bass and drums is extremely flexible in the way it attacks these old songs. Cellist Hank Roberts often takes the lead in both his playing and singing. Roberts is a versatile, melodic player who can nimbly pluck his way . . . but he really impresses with his singing. He shows a range from deep baritone to buttery tenor and can be earnest or campy as the song dictates . . . [Guitarist Jim Yanda] gets the space to strike off into his own bag of fat-toned psychedelic licks when called for, often sounding like a young Larry Coryell, especially when he cranks it up on ‘Hey Jude.’ . . . [While] several of the songs stay pretty close to their original versions, others go above and beyond.

This quartet affectionately tackles the music of sixties with a sense of fun, wonder and possibility . . . The romping inventiveness on this excellent set makes this far more than an exercise in nostalgia."
