The Silvers: From Beatles Tribute to Recent Album Release!

A Beatles tribute from 1969 called Silver Laughter toured the United States for about a decade and released a couple of albums of Beatles influenced original music in 1976 and 1978 that did pretty well regionally.  Fast forward to 2014, the band was inducted into the Iowa Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.  Seeing the crowd’s reaction to Silver Laughter’s performance at the induction ceremony sparked a renewed interest in the band for bass guitarist and singer Mick Orton.  Since the other members of the band didn’t share his enthusiasm about putting the band back together, Mick recruited a new team and started work on a new record.

They called the band The Silvers and this new band just released an album of brand new songs called After The Laughter.  Don’t let the downer of a title fool you though.  The songs on this album aren’t as depressing as the name would suggest.  They are mostly infectious Beatles influenced songs with memorable melodies, but I can also hear some influence by The Rolling Stones (It’s Alright), Michael Jackson (Down And Out), and America (When The Time Comes).  Stand out tracks include No More (This Time I Mean It), the Monkees influenced Sunday Girl, the ballad Nothing Really Matters and probably the best song on the album, Hey, Marie.
