 Rating:  - Twangy surpriseThis has become one of my favorite tribute CDs. The meld of Country - which I was not a big fan of - and the Beatles...which I am a huge fan of... is marvelous. Rating:  - Worst Album EverI don't know who had the idea for this tribute, but they should be exiled from the music industry forever. Never in my life have I ever heard something so terrible. This album is not a tribute or salute. It is an insult to The Beatles and anyone who has ever heard these songs before. All I can say is, why? Why in the world would anyone make this album, much less listen to it. I am truly shocked and amazed that something as aweful as this could exist. Rating:  - To My SurpriseI bought this cd out of curiosity, and mainly because Randy Travis and Chet Atkins is on this album. To my surprise, I was blown away...this has today's best C&W musicians, doing their own personal interpretations of the old Beatles' standards. I've never heard of Suzy Bogguss or Susan Ashton before, but now I do. Their voices are incredible! I listen to just about every music genre, and this cd is one of my Country & Western essentials. Rating: - US country covers of Beatles songs that works brilliantlyThe concept of different music styles being applied to another e.g. Dylan songs having had both spiritual choirs and reggae tribute CDs, is one of those gambles that when it works can be brilliant. This is one of those succesful cases taking the great Beatles songbook and having a range of different country and western (not all of them well known to me) apply a range of interpretations. The great aspect for me is that the approach in each is so fresh (notably "We can work it out" with a mock string quartet intro by Phil Keaggy & PFR) or just as enjoyable as the original ("I'll follow the sun" by David Ball and "All my loving" by Suzy Bogguss & Chet Atkins especially impressing). Inevitably there are a few bummers - I fear ...

Delbert McClinton played harmonica on Bruce Channel's "Hey baby",a singer who co starred with the Beatles at New Brighton in 1962.Supposedly an influence on the Beatles own first single to include a harmonica. In the mid 60s the first country musicians to do Beatles Music were the Charles River Bluegrass Band and Chet Atkins ("Picks On The Beatles") so its not a new idea.Even Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr did country music in Nashville |
