Bill Frisell/John Lennon

I just picked up Bill Frisell's new record of John Lennon covers. Some of the tempos are slower and Frisell's "airy" style often emphasizes melody more than rhythm, but overall this is the best set of Beatle covers I've ever heard. Probably not for Beatles purists, but if you can be flexible, this one is terrific. Greg Leisz does a great job on slide and the songs even rock a bit here and there.
