"Yesterday and Tomorrow" is the best track on Ten Singles. Roger Miller would love it. Perfect for dusty hardwood floors and a chicken-wired stage, The Blues Brothers would have held off the restless country folk three more minutes if they'd had this to compliment "Rawhide". "Leanne" actually sounds like a track off a Merge sampler. Somewhere buried under the propensity toward mating with dinosaurs, Hagardorn is hiding an Indie Rocker equipped with power chords, distortion, and an in-your-face rhythm.
Kurt Hagardorn has exactly what he claims: Ten Singles. For this reason, the disc listens like a "Best of..." for someone you've never heard of. As is, Hagardorn does not necessarily claim an identity, but some of these singles in the context of a consistent frame would be noteworthy. It would also be helpful if the chosen identity understood that nothing new can be added to The Beatles' sound. A coworker once responded perfectly to my comment about many artists sounding like The Beatles. He simply said, "Nobody sounds like The Beatles."
