Various Artists - Beatles Blues

Various Artists - Beatles Blues - 2001 - Indigo (UK)

Very good studio recordings of some of the great Beatles songs performed by some great American and British blues artists. This album was organised by the well known U.S. Bluesman/producer Fred James, who played on several tracks and also produced and engineered the album. The Beatles were influenced greatly by authentic southern American Blues and R&B music, so it's very interesting to hear these tunes rearranged for blues styled artists to record. If you like these tunes for what they are, simply well written pieces of music, and if you like the Blues, then you may find yourself enjoying this album.
