Info for LJ Can’t Stop Playing The Beatles
Grammy-winning guitarist Laurence Juber releases his third collection of his celebrated solo acoustic arrangements of Beatles tunes. Produced by Hope Juber and remixed by legendary engineer Al Schmitt at Hollywood's Capitol Studios, the recording showcases Juber's unique acoustic guitar touch and tone on this collection of Fab favorites.
Juber has a unique perspective to reimagine these classics. “I started playing guitar in November of ’63, coinciding with the first wave of Beatlemania,” he said. “Their songs are baked into my musical DNA and having played guitar with three of the four Beatles, they form a central thread in my own life experience.”
Called “a master” by The Who’s Pete Townshend and “one of the world’s most remarkable acoustic guitarists” by The South China Post, Juber is known for fusing folk, jazz, blues, pop and classical styles to create a multi-faceted performance that belies the use of only one instrument. He was first internationally recognized as lead guitarist in Beatle Paul McCartney’s Wings, with whom he won a Grammy, and has since established himself as world-renowned guitar virtuoso and entertainer.
Known to his fans as ‘LJ’, Juber has released 25 solo albums. As a studio musician, he can be heard on recordings from artists as diverse as Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks, Seal and the French chanteuse Sylvie Vartin, plus he is featured on the soundtracks to hundreds of TV shows such as Home Improvement, and movies including the academy award-winning Dirty Dancing, Good Will Hunting, and Pocahontas.
"Uniquely qualified to perform the Beatles catalog, Laurence Juber effectively recasts familiar tunes into songs containing gentle emotion." (Kit O Toole)
"A must have for any Beatles fan." (Q104.3 FM New York)
"The melodies, textures, and harmonies he coaxes out of an acoustic guitar are absolutely spellbinding." (Guitar Player Magazine)
