Stunning. In recent weeks several purveyors of things musical played me tracks from this album and stood back with awe. This is music of great purity and reverence, rendered by a deeply gifted singer-songwriter-producer. Keith Chagall is a master of resplendent harmonies, rich layers of vocals as sumptuously rendered as if Brian Wilson and his band teamed up with Paul McCartney and his band. 

​

Some people who love the music of the Beatles or Brian and try to channel it into their own songs often fail terribly. It comes off like a bad impression. But occasionally someone comes along with purity; not only the love, but also the inspired knowhow to do it right, and the result is remarkable. Such is the case with Keith Chagall, and Sail On Betsy Ross, a new album of gems. His song “Mr. Lennon” is a tribute to the lads that does justice to the source, not only in the inspired songwriting, but in the stunning orchestral Abbey Road-like production.

​

This is not an imitation of the Beatles, it’s a reverent and deeply dimensional celebration. For that one song and track alone, this is an album worth having. But there’s much more...
