Singer Judy Collins has recently released a new album, consisting solely of Beatles tunes. After seeing Paul McCartney play Madison Square Garden a few years ago, she was so enamoured of him that she felt she wanted to record some of the Beatles music herself. Good choice, Judy! She studied the songs extensively to learn the ways they were put together, discovering an oddity about them….

“The Beatles’ songs are all short, compact works. I never realized how odd they are - not bad odd, but unexpected in the way they’re put together.”

It also seems that we’re not the only ones blown away by the Lads from Liddy…

“These songs are not only great to play live; no matter where you are, everybody knows and loves them,” says the singer, who just returned from a tour of the Pacific Rim nations, including Korea and Japan. “It’s really remarkable.”

She’s also going to include their music in a performance she’s giving at New York City’s Town Hall this Friday. I think it’s great that someone of Judy’s caliber is paying reverance to the Beatles.
