Another cross-over novelty: the vocabulary of Beatles songs translated into
banjo/mandolin/fidle bluegrass, sung with heavy Cambridge tongue. The
Rounder Roundup (#1, 1995, p.7) says: "Though at the time overlooked as a
novelty, today the album stands on its own as inspired, heartfelt
bluegrass". I can hardly believe that anyone won't laugh with this stuff,
hearing that tasty Massachusetts accent and those wild banjo's.
Unfortunately (or not?), this album contains a bunch of less known Beatles
songs.

PS:
- mentioned price is without postage, as this changes from country to country.
- I have no idea at all about the availability through shops, sorry.
  The discs I'm writing about are often completely ignored by shops, dealers,
  companies; well, that is why I write about them!
