I love The Beatles and I love Beatles tributes. I have hundreds of tribute CDs. This is one of the better ones. Lauren gives these songs folky and light-jazz treatments. A couple of well know jazz musicians appear on several tracks. Most of this works quite well. It is fun and interesting.

Lisa Lauren has been recording Beatle tunes for her entire career. She has finally done an entire albums worth, some of them heard before. They are jazzy interpretations-perfect Sunday morning kind of music. Her voice is lovely and the arrangements are perfect.

Guaranteed to please!

Lisa is a terrific artist. Her interpretations of The Beatles material are (in my humble opinion) among the finest. Using her own unique style, Lisa showcases the Beatles' exceptional song-writing and retains the essence of the original versions. Her vocal delivery is intimate, honest, and engaging. Lisa's piano accompaniment is fresh and interesting, a display of her impeccable taste and choices. Her performance is superb and true. Guest artists and supporting musicians, too many to name, are top notch. I'm proud to have helped Lisa in making this record.

Long before The Invasion of the "Y" Girls (Britneys, Hilarys, Lindsays, etc.), female vocalists had a depth of tone and a smart, distinctive sense of style to interpret lyrics and uncover unexpected layers. Lisa Lauren is a throwback. She knows how to take you down what may seem a familiar path and surprise you with tuneful twists and detours. This is not a 'been there done that' Beatles reinvasion. It's a subtle, fully realized renaissance. The vocals are jazzily inventive. The stellar arrangements worthy of the material. Clearly, Lisa Lauren loves The Beatles. Lucky for us.

Lisa Lauren is an exceptional talent with a broad versatility not often experienced in contemporary female vocalists. She brings a surprising depth and fresh emotionality to each Beatles' song, so it is at once familiar and completely original. I gave copies to all my friends for the holidays and will continue the practice all year. I highly recommend Lisa Lauren Loves the Beatles; her ardor is evident in every note and we can't help but love her, too.

"Lisa Lauren Loves the Beatles", and you can hear and feel that when you listen to this CD. Her interpretation of the lyrics lets you experience these familiar songs in an entirely new way. She tells stories that you didn't even know were in the songs. Listen to "I've Just Seen a Face". What was a bouncy number in the Beatles' original, becomes a haunting love song in Lisa's hands, a hushed sense of wonder at the prospect of love at first sight. I get chills every time I hear it. More gems like that are to be found in this truly enjoyable CD. Highly recommended!

Very well done recording, even if it was done for different releases. Mellow, sure, but what's wrong with that...very nice Sunday morning music.

I thought ludes were difficult to get. It sounds to me they were in abundance at this album session. The album sounds like a high school punishment project forced upon Lisa and her "life support" band. Verrrrry boring effort but kudos to the crew, not many people can make Beatle's music boring. Listening to it is like slogging thru a mile of foot deep molasses. Unlike the Beatle who yelled "I have blisters on my fingers" after listening to this effort for what seemed like an eternity (5 cuts) I had "moss growing in my ear drums". If you are inclined to purchase this debacle, you would come out way ahead by burning 1/2 the money you would have spent and with the remaining money, buy yourself a couple of beers & celebrate a smart business decission.
