Various Artists - Here, There & Everywhere • The Songs Of The Beatles: A Windham Hill Collection (1999)

As the title suggests, this disc consists of New Age covers of Beatles tunes. And it sounds exactly as you might imagine. One of those albums that's perfect when you're in the mood and irritating as hell when you're not.

Judging from the number of ✔ above, I must have been in a New Age mood this morning, huh? I find myself favoring tracks that feature piano and/or guitar over those with string instruments (remind me to tell you some unpleasant stories of my experiences with a green instructor and an ornery viola in my elementary strings class during freshman year in college). I'm not sure if I'd ever heard anything from Tuck & Patti before buying this disc, but their two tracks on the album (2 & 9) steal the show and I'll be listening to more of them henceforth.
