"A few days are George Harrison passed away in 2001, Yim Yames was moved to record this six song EP of Harrison covers, paying tribute to a man he never met, but with whom he felt a special connection.  The tracks have a serene quality that mourn the loss of a legendary spirit while celebrating his enduring influence.

On the EP, Yames performs beautiful renditions of four cuts from Harrison's classic album All Things Must Pass as well as two of the Beatles tunes that he penned.  These six tracks have a raw, minimalist feel - featuring little more than Yames' vocals and acoustic guitar.  With all the space, the room in which the tracks were recorded truly serves as anouther instrument in the mix, creating an ethereal aura for a backdrop.

From his warm, multi-layered vocals on opening track :Long Long Long" to his near-whisperat the end of the album closer "All Things Must Pass" Yames sings in a fittingly intimate manner.  In the album's liner notes, he refers to Harrison as "a prime example of the healing power of music."  These words apply just as much to this EP.  As the final chords on Tribute To fing out, one can't help but feel a deep, satisfying sense of catharsis"

Imagine calling your record store and saying:

"Good morning. Did you guys get the new Yim Yames album in yet?"

I don't know if I can get the words out without cracking up! The place would probably hang up on me!
