Blueberry Fields Forever

"This album features instrumental bluegrass versions of Beatles songs played by session musicians. It's not very interesting. It's competently played (more or less), but without any feeling. I don't know anyone that this would appeal to."

Only "Hard Days Night" is worthy

"Yes, only A Hard Days Night has life to it, and some notion of how to chart bluegrass, and some reflection of the joy behind the original. The songs are very light on mandolin and the fiddle sounds too classical. Same complaint with most of the "Pickin' on" series. My wife Sissy fed the rest of the CD to our critters. You know, some people want SWAG; we want SKAGGs --> Bluegrass Rules! Oh yeah."

Nice idea, poor execution, better ones out there

"i love bluegrass and the Beatles, but this cd fails because of the plodding arrangements. check out Craig Duncan's Bluegrass Beatles from his website to hear this done right."
