Joe is steel-guitar fool, and he knows every lick in the book. Sure, ya gotta love the pedal steel to listen to this stuff, but assuming that's true, this one's a treat.

This is one of the hippest and most refreshing treatments of Beatle tunes I have heard. I was completely charmed. Goldmark's technical skill is first-class, but his courage in presenting these songs in his style is admirable. These tracks should bring a smile to the face of any serious music lover-with or without a tongue in cheek.

This record will have you smiling and tapping along to every track. I almost never can stomach Beatle covers, but this album works. It's a great record from begining to end, something that is great for those long Sunday drives. The obvious love of both the music of the Beatles and country hot picking make for strange but very pleasing bed fellows. Give it a listen, I guaratee you'll be grinnin' while Joe Goldmark is pickin'.

If you like whiney country guitar you'll like this collection, if not, they all sound the same.

THE PEDAL STEEL GUITAR SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED IN THE SAME GENDRE AS THE ACCORDIAN AND THE BAGPIPES. PEOPLE WHO PLAY THESE TYPES OF INTRUMENTS SHOULD HAVE THEIR EMPTY SCULLS STOMPED INTO MUSH! ONE OF MY REDNECK FRIENDS BOUGHT ME THIS DISC AND I'M CONSIDERING STOMPING HIS EMPTY SKULL INTO MUSH. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE!
