Album Review - Various Artists - This Bird Has Flown: A 40th
Anniversary Tribute to The Beatles' Rubber Soul

It's an impossible task to try to top what The Beatles did with its
songs. Fortunately, it's just as difficult to ruin them completely,
especially considering that the band's compositions are such perfect
slices of pop music that they put forth an invitation that most
artists simply can't ignore. In honor of the 40th anniversary of
Rubber Soul, This Bird Has Flown assembles a diverse line-up in order
to recreate in its entirety what is arguably The Beatles' finest
effort. For the record, all of the album's 14 tracks are remarkably
well-played, though it certainly isn't surprising that most of those
who were involved in the project took a conservative approach and add
merely minor twists to The Beatles' familiar renditions.
