Ragbag collection of soul artiste covers of the Fab 4
The covers of Beatles songs being collected in LP/CD collections has produced over the years some gems of both well known covers and rare finds. This issue is sadly not one of them.
The separate Motown collection of Beatles songs by major artistes on that label showed that sometimes the Tamla magic could not work its soul spell on the UK group songs. This collection is a Rhino special and covers a variety of non-Tamla soul artists - sadly the quality is variable. Aretha (Let it be) and Wilson Pickett (Hey Jude) shine, Booker T & the MGs have done much better on their Abbey Road tribute than the cover of Michelle on show here, and some are plain embarrassing (Billy Preston on Get Back given he was on the original recording and the Bar-Kays "We can work it out").
I fear this is one of the least interesting Beatles cover collections I have heard.
