Pickin' on the Beatles

by Pickin' On

Overview

The CMH Records Pickin' On series took the novel idea of studio musicians fusing together compositions from rock legends like Hendrix, Clapton, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, and in this case the Beatles, and applying straight bluegrass arrangements to them. The novelty however wears off quickly on versions of "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Hey Jude," "Yellow Submarine," and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" that incorporate five-string banjo, mandolin, Dobro, and fiddle. This release seems unnecessary except for the most ardent Beatles fanatics only. ~ Al Campbell
