Aaron Lee Tasjan is not a new name to Fruit Tree Records, he registered on the radar at least three years ago with his own ear catching brand of cosmic Americana. Now though, he is really showing the roots of his musical excellence, to such a degree that with latest album ‘Tasjan! Tasjan! Tasjan!’ even high profile pop pickers like Elton John are singing his praises. That he has gone on record to state The Beatles as a primary influence will be no surprise when you listen to this, the album is bursting at the seams with Fab sounds! From the liquid George Harrison guitar solos, to the sweet sounding production that echoes so much that was good in a post-Beatle pop world; you’ll hear waves of Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, The Pretenders and the Travelling Wilburys splash into your mind. But the key thing that Aaron has taken from the pop masters is that, before the sonic delights of the production were applied, he made sure he wrote an albums worth of hook filled, ear worm worthy pop songs. It’s rather an undervalued artform you know, especially when someone like Aaron Lee Tasjan makes it sound so natural and easy. Be sure to pick up a vinyl copy of this LP:
