Passin'over by Yood
If you like classic rock and blues, you will love Yood’s debut album Passin’over. A listener might be a little disappointed at the lack of real Jewish content in this CD other than the song titles and look of its long-bearded members, whose sound is closer to ZZ Top than Matisyahu (one of their claimed influences). Even after a careful examination of the lyric sheet, one would be hard-pressed to find more than a vague connection to Judaism in many of the songs. Nevertheless, Yood, whose other influences include Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Cream and Bob Dylan, is considered by many to be one of the best bands in new Jewish music. This CD would make an excellent addition to any general library music collection; not as much for collections that are specifically Jewish.
