By George By Bachman

Description

Multiple Hall of Famer, songwriter, singer, and guitarist Randy Bachman announces the release of By George By Bachman, a respectful and personal testimonial to George Harrisons finest work. Make no mistake, this is not your typical tribute album. This truly is a Harrison by Bachman concept with Bachmans distinctively personal stamp and style placed on The Quiet Beatles music. On Jukebox, the covers album I did with Burton Cummings back in 2007, I took Im Happy Just To Dance With You, which was written by George but written for him to sing, and put a whole new groove on it, Bachman explains. People already knew the lyrics so I put it into a new musical context and it worked. For this album I figured I would take Georges songs and give them new grooves. I wanted the tempos and arrangements to be different but still recognizable by the lyrics. I took the major keys and turned them into minors. It was a whole new interpretation of a familiar song. I was quite excited about the prospect of re-imagining George Harrisons songs.
