This One's for the Fellows: A Sonic Salute to The Young Fresh Fellows

this one's for the fellows: a sonic salute to the young fresh fellows

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The Young Fresh Fellows may not have accrued a lot of fans over the course of their two-decades-plus existence, but the select few who've been won over by the downright lovable Seattle combo are true devotees. Judging by the participants in this 21-song tribute to on-again, off-again outfit, more than a few of their fans are musicians who appreciate the tunefulness, and genial spirit and humor of the heart, hail Fellows. Reaching all the way back to the YFF's 1984 debut for Frontier Records, The Fabulous Sounds of the Pacific Northwest, executive producers Pete Hilgendorf and Ben Heege draw from the band's proto-alt contemporaries (Robyn Hitchcock, the Silos, Charlie Chesterman) and newer faces (Visqueen, I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House, Mendoza Line). Four of the five Fellows turn up here and there, paying themselves tribute, it seems. Ah, well, they've earned it. This One's for the Fellows is a delight on its own terms, but one hopes it channels a few new Fellows travelers toward the band's still-active and ever-entertaining catalog. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars killer salute to an influential band!.......2004-04-22

The Young Fresh Fellows make music other musicians (like the Replacements and R.E.M.) love, and have been building a devoted fan base for 20 years. This CD is a long overdue tribute to their catchy, funny and quirky style. Every time I listen to this record, I'm amazed at how good the original songwriting was, to translate so well to bands as diverse as the Presidents of the USA, Robyn Hitchcock, Visqueen, and the Makers. Also, all the bands turn in killer cover versions - all in all, a very cool and bouncy rock record.
