approach. This is
reverence at its most
casual.

The 13 songs here aren’t necessarily the obvious ones. “Omaha,”
a loving, homesick ode to the Midwest, is a particularly choice find,
as is the torch ballad “What Am I Living For.” A number of Everly
songwriters are represented, including Felice and Boudleaux Bryant
(the string-adorned lullaby “Devoted to You”), Tony Romeo (the
nostalgic prance of “Milk Train”), and Gerry Goffin and Carole King
(the swaying, mystical country ditty “You’re Just What I Was Looking
for Today”).
McCarthy and Billy, by and large, distance themselves from the

Still, they stop short from completely reworking the songs. The one
exception comes courtesy of the borderline psychedelic folk of “My
Little Yellow Bird,” which plays out like a twisted children’s tune. Yet
the emphasis here remains on simplifying rather than adorning. The
orchestral rhythm & blues of the Everly’s “Somebody Help Me,” for
instance, becomes a roots rocker at its most direct. This is reverence
at its most casual. —Todd Martens
SOMETHING
FOR THE
SOUL.
Soul Custom | Motorcycles, Music & Art.
A two-wheeled religion, of sorts, that
seeks to remind riders that their origins
were once of renegades. It’s an all encompassing
cultural shift that includes Custom Bikes,
Hi-Fi Audio,Vintage Turntables and Vinyl.
Our Soul is what makes us alive.
It’s what dares us to push the limit & challenge
the status quo. That’s what Soul Custom uses
as inspiration. Soul champions the firm belief that
we were born to build. The passion to create resides
within us all. It’s the difference between what we
get paid for and what we were made for!

Everybody’s after a culture.
At Soul Custom the goal isn’t to go
after a particular group of people, so much more
than it is, to create an inclusive enviroment for
all who enjoy custom creations to congregate.
Simply stated, the mission is to build a bridge
and begin blending these creative worlds.
