Review of Everything Was Right: The Beatles' "Revolver"

Breaking down Revolver's technical, poetic, and stylistic brilliance makes this program more than just a "love letter" to the Beatles. Sure, they were a great band that had a profound effect in pop music, but hearing from folks talk about what makes "Revolver" such a classic album helps non-musicians understand why certain elements in the album were very innovative. The combination of American R&B, classical music flourishes, Indian sitar work and great songwriting makes one realize that the devotion to song craft The Beatles had is something many bands seem to overlook in today's pop landscape.
