I posted about this a couple of weeks ago but nobody responded. Glad to
see
that someone else has found this remarkable album. It's permamently (well,
at least for the summer) installed in my car stereo.

This is the best BB style band I've heard in 30 years; all the more
remarkable because of the way they've written entirely new songs based on
Brian's style. The disc sounds like a lost BB album just before Pet
Sounds.

Jason Brewer (the front man and major songwriter) said in an interview
that Brian called him to say how much he liked the album. The downside is
that he also said the band would probably go in a different direction for
their next album; you can't build a career these days as a BB tribute
band.
