Hear it Now

The improbably long-lived Smithereens have never been shy about their
British Invasion influences -- now they make them more obvious with an
inessential but fun tribute to the Beatles' American debut album. The
Smithereens cover all twelve Meet the Beatles!'s tracks, hewing
closely to the original
arrangements, down to the hand claps in "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
They add some deadpan vocals and a bit of extra guitar crunch,
particularly goosing the ballad "Till There Was You" -- and against all odds they
succeed in making forty-three-year-old music sound new again.
