4.0 out of 5 starsLoving covers album from a Rubinoo and a Belleville
By hyperbolium on March 19, 2011
Format: MP3 Music
Though Jon Rubin and Tommy Dunbar, the two remaining founders of the Rubinoos, often refer to Al Chan as "the new guy," he's entering his fourth decade of playing and singing with the band. His partner in Yep is the singer, songwriter and guitarist Mark Caputo of the pop-meets-Americana band Belleville. Together they've lovingly recorded an eclectic collection of ten cover songs (and one Caputo original), ranging from hit singles by Elton John ("Rocket Man"), the Kinks ("Waterloo Sunset"), and the Everly Brothers "So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)," to lesser-known titles by deeply respected songwriters that include Richard Buckner, Alan Wauters and Justin Currie. Ironically, the indie nature of this album makes the better-known songs the more daring picks, challenging Chan and Caputo to find original approaches to chestnuts. Happily, the duo is quite up to the task.

"Rocket Man" retains the dramatic build from a quiet intro to a rock `n' roll finish, but John's bluesy piano is replaced here with the singer-songwriter strum of acoustic guitars, and Yep's bass-drums-guitar and duet vocals are heavier, embellished by spacey flourishes of Dave Zirbel's steel. "Waterloo Sunset" is sung in close harmony to acoustic guitars, giving the song a more melancholy end-of-the-day vibe than the signature single, and "So Sad," though sticking closely to the Everly's harmony style, replaces the original's tremolo guitar with steel, creating a deeper country feel. It's particularly great to hear Don Everly's songwriting highlighted in the company of both commercial legends and underground heroes (and a bit of both with Jeff Tweedy's melody applied to Woody Guthrie's "Hesitating Beauty").Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOfficial Liner Notes
By John Cuniberti on February 1, 2011
Format: MP3 Music
The gameplan for the debut album by Yep seems straightforward enough. Al Chan (of the Rubinoos) and Mark Caputo (of Belleville) teamed up and cherry-picked some of their favorite songs from all over the pop continuum. They demonstrated great taste and impressive record collections in the process, creating a songwriters' universe in which Don Everly, Ray Davies, Woody Guthrie, and Elton John stand shoulder to shoulder with Joe Pernice, Justin Currie, Teitur Lassen, Richard Buckner and Alan Wauters. The songs (ten covers and one Caputo original) are presented in rich, uncluttered arrangements. Around them guitars twang and jangle, occasionally kick up some distortion but never enough to kill the mellow buzz. Producer John Cuniberti finds the exact right balance between technologically pristine and organically natural.

And then those voices enter the picture, and suddenly nothing seems straightforward anymore. The vocals of Chan and Caputo wind around each other in such stunning harmony that they invoke a sense of utter timelessness. It's like the Everly Brothers smashcut into a new millennium. And that's not to suggest an old-fashioned approach. There's no rose-tinted grasp at the past here, just as there's no auto-tuned plasticity begging for mainstream approval; this is a simple, unadorned flexing of talent that should intimidate other singers and delight everyone else.

Some music just seems to stand outside of time, completely impervious to passing trends and fleeting style. It makes its own rules, defines its own sense of cool. A pantheon of greats already inhabits such rarefied air. Is it possible that Chan and Caputo have joined them? Yep. Yep. A thousand times Yep.

5.0 out of 5 starsJohn Borack review of Yep : Once
By William Sandeforth on February 25, 2011
Format: MP3 Music
Not sure if it's an ongoing affair or simply a one-off, but the pairing of Al Chan (of the Rubinoos) and Mark Caputo (of Belleville) pays big-time dividends on the duo's first full-length effort, recorded under the moniker Yep. The 11-song disc, titled Once, is mainly a collection of nicely chosen covers both well-known ("Rocket Man," "Waterloo Sunset") and obscure (unless artists such as Teitur or The Alan Wauters Alliance ring any bells for ya). Chan and Caputo sing real purty together and the vibe is low-key, yet not too mellow. The lesser-known tracks fare the best: Yep's take of Teitur's "Sleeping With the Lights On" is simultaneously sweet and heartbreaking, while Alan Wauters' "Noise and Confusion" is another winner in a similar mid-tempo vein, with some gently psychedelic lead guitar adding flavor. Some subtle country influences permeate the proceedings as well: the Pernice Brothers and Wilco receive the Yep treatment and a gorgeous steel guitar-flecked reading of the Everly Brothers' "So Sad" slots in perfectly.

Grade: A-

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat a surprise...it's really good!
By D. Denton on January 9, 2012
Format: MP3 Music
This CD wandered into my possession by accident. A lot of CD's pass though my hands and most just get flipped out. I was about to flip it until I noticed that it was recorded at Fantasy studios in Berkeley. First off, it should be mentioned that this is a very professionally produced CD. So I listened...And now I can't get it off the CD player.

The arrangements are tasteful and restrained in order to serve the vocal harmonies. My favorite song on this is album is "Just Getting By" a gem of a ballad from the obscure and long gone Scottish group Del Amitri. The original release was over-produced and muddy, but still you can hear the bones of a great song. Yep's version is 'honest' and the restrained arrangement (by comparison) allows the song's emotions to be fully realized. And there are many other gems on this CD. You can play it all the way through without hitting the fast forward button. Highly recommended.
