If scientists were somehow able to cross-pollinate The Trenchcoats with a lighthearted barbershop group, the results would be Three Men and a Tenor. Occasionally, they toss in a more modern approach to their older songs, like the vocal percussion drum fills on the bridge of the chipper I Do . While the blending of classic and contemporary pop singing works sometimes, sometimes it only serves to muddy an otherwise respectable arrangement. On the whole, Three Men and a Tenor are best when they play it straight with bouncy oldies like Little Bitty Pretty One . It's You .
Every Woman starts off with a strong soloist singing, well, solo.
The group comes in to back him up with some simple chords and eventually a little vocal percussion rounds out the mix. The percussion is gratuitous at best and disruptive at worst, but the song still evokes a nice mood. It's You has a similar feel, but the harmonies are a little broader and the arrangement is slightly more complex without ever sacrificing its simple sound. Lots of groups have the one short guy. Lot's of groups make fun of him in their patter.
