Oh Yes (vocals removed) by Ben Rusch Ben Rusch : Oh Yes (vocals removed).
 Unique to the power of twenty-two (so far...).

This is a version of Oh Yes with the vocals removed by software (Demucs). Tracks that had no singing are unchanged.

"OH, YES!! is a collection of music that shows no respect whatsoever for traditional genre boundaries. Rather than walking well-trodden paths of musical cliché, the album will delight your ears with 17 different songs (as opposed to 17 iterations of the same song). So if you are looking for a coherent theme to tie the album together, then one could say that it is Alternative Rock or Folk music, sometimes beautiful, sometimes outrageous and always good for the soul. The songs are unapologetically aimed at open-minded listerners with an interest in inventive music and substance. And a good sense of humour will certainly come in handy..."
