Album Notes

Editorial Reviews of "TIME MACHINE"

Beatles Unlimited Magazine
"Clearly, they're the keepers of the flame and not just Beatles-influenced: the Vinyl Kings are the only Beatles-phoenix arisen from its ashes." (Tom Weel)


Imagine this if you will. You're offered the use of a time machine which not only can take you back in time, but also allows you to be invisible. Next, imagine you select a year in the 1960's and the place you chose to return to, a recording complex where in Studio One there's the Beatles, while at the same time down the hall in Studio Two Brian Wilson is putting the Beach Boys to work on his next creation. Then what if you were able to magically dissolve the wall that separated the two of them. What would you hear?

This natural follow-up to the Vinyl Kings "A Little Trip", finds the group moving through even more familar musical terrains, while at the same time inviting the listener into the bands own particular realm, with music you didn't know existed anymore.

Step into the "Time Machine" and press play today.

The members of the Vinyl Kings have individually produced, written songs for, played on recordings by, or toured with such artists as Sting, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Neil Young, Shawn Colvin, Shania Twain, Paul Brandt, Jimmy Buffett, Steve Winwood, Dan Fogelberg, Glenn Frey, J.D. Souther, Kim Carnes, Peter Frampton, Bobby Womack, Steve Earle, Bob Seger, Vince Gill, John Fogerty, Mark Knopfler, Faith Hill, Tina Turner, Martina McBride, James Ingram, Leann Rimes, Michael McDonald, Trisha Yearwood, Rosanne Cash, Wynonna Judd, Brooks & Dunn, Alabama, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steppenwolf, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Kathy Mattea, Lyle Lovett and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Time Machine
author: Michael Whitt
Words cannot express how it makes me feel to here something timeless again, just like Little Trip, this one has done it again. I love it and will listen to it for many years to come, just like I do with the others from my happy days that this group of songs brings me back to.

In the future all music will go backwards-something is real something to get hun
author: Richard Astley-Clemas
At the beginning you hear someone say OK then switch on the time machine and from then on the Beatles,Dylan and the Beach Boys inform at least 10 of the songs the exception being Pray for Peace apparantly influenced by Marvin Gaye but this is an artist I have little interest in. The Vinyl Kings seem to be in the same place the Turtles and Paul Revere & the Raiders occupied in the 60s-the American groups who wanted to be the Beatles.The great makers of pastiches. Number 1 though in the art of pastiche were the Beatles themselves who parodied the Beach Boys more than once. So the way to look at this CD is what if it were an undiscovered Beach Boys album which had been heavily influenced by the Beatles? It would certainly sound nearer the mark than some of the weird ones they cut in the later 60s when Van Dyke Parks was took on board. But then so many have learned well from the source whether its the obvious spoofs such as the Rutles or previous labours of love like Utopia's Deface the Music or Tears For Fears' Sowing the seeds of love.And that's before you even consider that ELO combined Beatles and Beach Boys with their opening riposte "ELO begins where I am the Walrus left off" The Vinyl Kings will not be found in the high street music stores because they are on an independent label sold over the Internet.The stores have enough on with all the stuff they fill their windows with and tell you is important. The ones who know this is not the case are the ones who purposely look for anything which copies the 60s. You only have to ask yourself-how does anyone copy what's around today? The blueprint was the 60s and the Beatles are now the World's biggest band about to get even bigger because we're talking not about some new band but an entire genre
