AN APPLE A DAY – Yes We Can

Over a year in the making, the album “Yes We Can” picks up where Fred Leslie’s Missing Link left off, and with the help of some of the greatest vocal talent alive today, goes even further and far beyond. Each track was chosen based upon the original versions heavy riffs and each feature vocalists who all are inspirations to the band. The featuring artists were chosen based on who An Apple A Day themselves are fans of and were all specifically paired up with songs that would suit them best. The album has been acclaimed all over the world as one of the best Soul releases of 2013 and has been broadcasted by BBC (Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show)
 
An Apple A Day... will keep the doctor away but it will also satisfy your hunger for some funky music!
(Urban "Wally" Wallstrom – Rock United)

And if you can’t dance to ‘Yes We Can’, then truly you have no soul. Feel the funk!!! Album of the year for me so far, by a mile.
(Nev Brooks – Uber Rock)

Se, come dice il proverbio, “una mela al giorno toglie il medico di torno” e questa mela è stata fatta bollire in una miscela esplosiva di funk-soul, state tranquilli che campate cent’anni. Il disco è una bomba!
(Riccardo Grandi – Distorsioni)

Se le radio riusciranno ad accogliere in heavy rotation anche quello che non è spinto dalle majors, potremmo trovare le mele nelle diete di milioni di italiani, salvandoli dal medico e anche da McDonald ‘s. Sì, An Apple a Day possono. (Franco “Lys” Dimauro – Reverendo Lys)

Gli An Apple A Day con questo lavoro impartiscono una sonora lezione di classe ai tanti, pure troppi, gruppetti che occupano i palchi riproponendo della semplice minestra riscaldata: la band riesce a divertire, a coinvolgere e a emanare un'energia che ti fa veramente venire voglia di muoverti.
(Mourning – Aristocrazia Webzine)
