Cornershop has never been peaceful about the financial obligation they owe to The Beatles, as well as their latest, “Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast,” continues in that grand tradition, with lots of pop sitar, short as well as tight tunes, as well as 1960s riffs. Tjinder Singh as well as Ben Ayres are one of the very best songwriting teams around today, as evidenced by this great-from-beginning-to-end release. I even delighted in the upbeat cover of Bob Dylan’s “The Mighty Quinn,” notwithstanding that it seems a bit like The Grateful Dead’s own cover of that tune as well as truly doesn’t break any type of new ground. however the genuine tour-de-force is the 16-minute “The Turned-On Truth,” which tranforms the “Brimful of Asha” riff into a gospel tune, occupying at the same time rock as well as roll seems perfected by Van Morrison, George Harrison, Curtis Mayfield, Joe Cocker, Merle Saunders, and, of course, Cornershop themselves. (They’ve been around for practically two decades, so why shouldn’t they now be thought about influential?)
If you’re one of the fans who was eagerly awaiting this release, be happy. If you’ve never heard Cornershop before (or are only familiar with “Asha”), be extremely happy. This will be a record you’ll want to experience once again as well as again.
