Album Description GRAMMY winning Paul McCartney and WINGS guitarist Laurence Juber plays his own solo acoustic guitar arrangements of some of the best loved melodies of all time. Jubers arrangements of these songs are based on duplicating the original feel of the songs and run the gambit from breathtaking beauty (Strawberry Fields... to guitar heroics of "I Saw Her Standing there" in which Juber sounds like 3 players all at once ..matching McCartneys bass lines with Harrisons original solos!

CD ReviewsInspired Fingerstyle Guitar Renditions of Beatles Songs Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 03/10/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "As a former member of Paul McCartney's latter-day Wings (he appeared on Back to the Egg in 1978), it is only natural that the classically trained Laurence Juber would eventually record a collection of Beatles songs.Juber covers songs from all of the Beatles except Ringo--"Octopuses Garden" would have been a nice addition. With most of these songs, Juber uses altered tunings. Overall, these fourteen acoustic solos, showcase his formidable fingerstyle guitar skills. I first heard Juber as a solo artist last year when I picked up a cutout copy of his second album Naked Guitar and was stunned by the beauty of his playing. When I saw this loving musical and artistic tribute to the Beatles (Baby Boomers will recognize the cover), I knew this had to be my second purchase. I wasn't disappointed! RECOMMENDED" Excellent and then some. T. Bowen | United States | 11/17/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "As many of us are, I am a long time and never ending admirer of the Beatles and all they encompassed. Over the years I've taken interest in various tributes, variations etc. of their music and usually am disappointed. Somehow I missed this one and stumbled onto it recently. Halfway through the second track I knew I found one of those great albums that will always stay above the surface. There's too much to go into here...all I can say is I can't imagine anyone past the entry level Beatles fan not enjoying this. Juber has pulled off a great and rare thing here, making tribute to the music we all know and love like a lifelong, irreplaceable best friend, while displaying his inventive arrangement skills and breathtaking talent as a guitarist. There's some twists and turns and depth to challenge us but he's not out to lose us and forget what brought us all here in the first place. Beyond that, or I guess in addition, it's simply an acoustic guitar daydream, perfectly produced. Impressive stuff to put it mildly. I just wish I'd found it a few years earlier..." Close your eyes and listen to his guitar sing ... Mike Hanrahan | Corona, CA USA | 07/20/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Only one thing could be better than slipping on the headphones, closing your eyes, and listening to Laurence Juber make his guitar "sing" your favorite Beatles tunes. That is to see him in person, as I had the privilege to do recently at the San Diego BeatleFair. He can make his guitar do things that you wouldn't think possible. Any fan of the Beatles ... or of great guitar playing ... must have this CD. Then you, too, can close your eyes and revel as his guitar gently weeps."
