Tell Me Why – Tim Riley, 1988 ★★★

Hunting Aeolian Cadences and Other Exotic Birds

Can anyone still remember what a Beatles song sounded like 29 years ago, before later iterations of this thing called life accreted upon their music and inevitably altered how we perceive it?

That’s why I enjoy this critical analysis by Tim Riley. It captures in amber prevailing notions about Beatles music during an era where I myself was just beginning to dope out what was so special about them.
