about

"Almost Beatles Songs Vol. 2" digs deep and creates new arrangements from abandoned artifacts discovered on the leaked Nagra reels. In doing so, we've made a sincere effort to use only pure Beatles DNA and not insert our own songwriting to plug up any holes. With the exception of some melodic changes expected when covering any song, a few conjunctive lyrics, and a handful of good faith attempts to guess what Paul is saying in "Pillow For Your Head", all lyrics and music for Vol. 2 are built exclusively from the foundations put forth by The Beatles.

If you’re Brett Lyda aka Elvis Orbison, you wait. Patiently. Sooner or later something will move, letting you know it’s time. Time to move your index finger from the B string to the G. Then you wait some more.
