For those who love Beatles music & the sounds of the dulcimer, this CD is truly wonderful. I have played my audio cassette tape so many times over the years that I am thrilled that it is now out on CD. The rendition of "You've got to hide your love away" is particularly moving - both happy & poignant.

Although I agree that this cd might be a bit much for those looking for Beatles renditions, it is a great resource for someone like me who is trying to teach themselves to play the hammered dulcimer. Familiar tune examples are invaluable to beginners and what could be more familiar than the Beatles. Just my 2 cents.

I found this item while searching for hammered dulcimer music to use in a play I was directing. I never would have thought a recording like this existed, and it was perfect! The songs were selected for what would sound good on the instrument, which was wise. The album makes for pleasant dinner music, or just something fun and random to have in your library.

I enjoyed the album. Some of the songs are a 'stretch', but, if you enjoy reading the paper on Sunday mornings, this is a nice album for company.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Beatles fan, and have enjoyed instrumental versions of their music for decades. I also have all three of Wilson's holiday CD's, which I really like. That being said, this collection suffers from the same problem as her other material...it's kind of flat. The sound is lovely and the arrangements are pleasant, but the renditions are so straightforward as to be a bit lifeless. I guess one doesn't jam on a dulcimer, but this is a bit like an artist reading a music sheet and following it note per note.

I am just amazed that people would really want to listen to the Beatles this way. I mean, why not buy the Beatles albums?

Calling this CD "POODLE POOP" is being way too kind. I would discourage anyone from buying this kind if drivel. You're a good man Bob, just too kind, that's all.......
