about

During the summer of 1991 in San Francisco, I was in a "rediscover your roots" phase, and The Beatles came up. My fancy was taken with the idea of doing "And I Love Her" as though it were written for a Japanese opera (Kabuki Theatre) libretto about a haunted shipwreck, as scored by King Crimson. I first recorded this on 4-track in San Francisco, then Scott Francis adeptly remixed it in 2009 for a Beatles radio special. The searing slide guitar work pays tribute to Dave Gilmour (the guitar was de-tuned to an E minor chord). There's a smattering of Ronnie Spector in the fade chorus. That all said, to me the best cover of this song is by Julio Iglesias.
