It probably comes as no surprise that Athens GA indie rock icon Matthew Sweet has a fondness for The Beatles. From his 1986 debut album to his early \u201890s breakthrough, including the MTV smash hit \u201cGirlfriend,\u201d on through to his most recent albums, Sweet has pulled off the same kind of melodically driven, seemingly straightforward but stealthily complex songs that turned the Liverpudlian foursome into a worldwide phenomena and one of the most influential artists of all-time. Recently, Sweet was invited to participate in a truly remarkable revisitation of The Beatles\u2019 incredible crowning glory, the brilliant\u00a0Abbey Road<\/em>, and the results couldn\u2019t be more satisfying.
Sweet sings, plays guitar and even adds a little bass to a brand new version of\u00a0Abbey Road<\/em>\u2019s punchiest blast of rock psychedelia, \u201cPolythene Pam.\u201d The fourth segment of the album\u2019s magnificent Side B medley, \u201cPam\u201d is the perfect showcase for Sweet\u2019s deft interplay of rapid fire vocals and powerfully overdriven guitars. Assisting in the track\u2019s creation is fellow singer\/guitarist Jason Berk, who adds texture with his acoustic guitar, and Fernando Perdomo who supports Sweet\u2019s guitar with some tasteful Hammond organ. Perhaps the only thing that can be said against the track is that, with a running time of 1:27, it leaves too soon. But then, that\u2019s what the repeat button is for!
