George Benson, “The Other Side Of Abbey Road” (1969)

by Pico

I was trying to get mentally prepared to actually describe a Charlie Hunter record when on a whim I decided to cue up GB’s The Other Side Of Abbey Road. That got me to thinking about Nick’s piece on the best Beatle remakes (hey Nick, I forgot one: Stevie Wonder’s sizzling 1970 version of “We Can Work It Out”) and then noticing that The Official Drummer of daSlob Idris Muhammed plays on this record made it all too much to not talk about. So here we are discussing Benson’s record instead.

WE'VE MOVED!: Dablog by DaSlob is now ... SOMETHING ELSE. Find the remainder of this review through the new link.

Hi Pico, I really liked Your post on this Benson's record, wrongly considered a minor work.

Thanks for your comment, Luigi! I think that most of Benson's Creed Taylor albums are way underrated. He did a nice job with the Beatles tunes.
