The great band The Smithereens have been releasing new CDs at a remarkable clip the last couple of years, and this latest is another stellar effort. After issuing two CDs of Beatles covers (as well as lead singer Pat DiNizio's tribute to Buddy Holly earlier this year), the Smithereens have tackled The Who is fine form. The new CD won't take the place of the original "Tommy", but it's a worthy adjunct. And a fantastic piece of work from drummer Dennis Diken, who does some amazing stuff here.
Oh, and there's a really cool cover by artist Bill Stout...
I understand the boys are working on an original CD for release this Fall, but until then, this will do...
