Don’t knock it before you try it. Seriously, Easy Star All-Stars have impressed me before with their rendition of Dark Side of the Moon and Radiodread. With their newest album Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band the band impresses me again. I just bought the album 30 minutes ago on ITUNES.
The album has a major balancing act to perform; keeping true to The Beatles yet engaging the reggae fans with a good funk and also being careful not to alienate The Beatles purists out there.
I hate to say it but…it fucking works! Sgt. Pepper’s was never my favorite Beatles album yet… amazingly… it’s just become my favorite reggae album so far. Easy Star All-Stars took especially great care of The Beatles best known singles from the album notably With a Little Help… and Lucy in the Sky…

Hey, thanks for following my blog! I would follow yours, but the thing won't let me follow without displaying all my info....
I like the Beatles. Their songs are really simple and yet so deep... plus, they're fun to sing along to.
