"Susan Yasinski, ably accompanied by Avory Gray, takes us on an instrumental tour of Beatle music played in a clean, clear style. 'Avory and I played every note. We opted not to use studio tricks to make it perfect, it is what it is.' And it's exactly that, it's great! Guitars, bass, a gentle touch on the drums and a very occasional phrase on an organ: this is guitar music pure and simple and clean." - John Holmes, Pipeline Instrumental Review, issue #78 (UK)

"It's a relaxed, lovely album played straight without any effects or wizardry and all the better for it. Great to revisit the old songs and the old days." - Davy Peckett, "New" Gandy Dancer, issue #86 (UK)

"...a departure of sorts with the band playing many songs done by the Liverpool charmers in lovely and easy arrangements. This disc plays well as a scene setter." - Phil Dirt, Reverb Central (USA)

"Originally based out of New York, the combo eventually migrated to Portland, Oregon where they remain today and have since earned accolades as one of the most interesting and respected instrumental groups to be had. Getting back to the Beatles, "She's A Woman" pays homage to the band's heroes in grand instrumental fashion... Not only will you approve of "She's A Woman" there's no doubt John, Paul, George and Ringo would too! - Beverly Paterson, Twist & Shake (USA)

"I can never get enough of the Beatles. Nor can I ever get enough of Susan and The SurfTones. So what an ideal fit 'The Dear Prudence Sessions' are, which is Susan and the SurfTones performing instrumental interpretations of Beatle songs!
These tunes are actually the companion to a disc Oregon's favorite genre hopping surf band put out last year, which was aptly called 'Susan and the SurfTones Play the Beatles.' But unlike that venture, 'The Dear Prudence Sessions' is not available to the public on record. Not yet anyway. Depending on circumstances, Susan and the SurfTones may eventually release the material. But until then, you are cordially invited to pay a visit to the band's website, where some of the tunes can be heard.
Grasping tight to the original structures of the songs, Susan and the SurfTones sound like the consummate professionals they are on numbers such as 'I'll Get You,' 'Can't Buy Me Love,' 'All I've Got To Do,' 'Please Please Me,' 'You Won't See Me,' 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You,' 'Nowhere Man,' 'I Should Have Known Better,' 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away' and 'Every Little Thing.' The band also covers covers the Beatles recorded, such as Arthur Alexander's 'Anna' and Chuck Berry's 'Rock and Roll Music.' Spunky and affectionate, 'The Dear Prudence Sessions' is a very nice tribute to John, Paul, George and Ringo. And I am sure they would agree with me!" - Beverly Paterson, Lance Monthly (USA)
