I’ve been following Fernando Perdomo for a few years now, and the guy is an absolute powerhouse. Does this man ever sleep? He seemingly always has a new group, album, or production in the works. His latest is a loving tribute to Paul and Linda McCartney’s 1971 release Ram. I think the highest praise I can give this album is that it made me reach for the original Ram for the first time in many years. After listening a few times, I put the original on, and what a ride, it’s such a whimsical, memorable album. Perdomo/Seiwell and the cast of over 100 artists do an incredible job, it’s remarkable. Seiwell was the drummer on the original, and he plays drums throughout and shares production credits with Perdomo. There is not much more that I can say, these guys put their heart and soul into this recreation to pay tribute to an album they love. You can never top something so iconic, but I think this was worth every minute I spent listening, and I will bring this one out from time to time. This is a must listen for McCartney fans, and it makes me wonder if McCartney himself has had the opportunity to listen? I can only imagine it would bring a smile to his face.
