Album Notes Personnel: George Martin (conductor, arranger); Robin Williams, Bobby McFerrin, Goldie Hawn, Celine Dion, Jim Carrey, Billy Connolly, Phil Collins, Sean Connery (vocals); John Williams (classical guitar); Jeff Beck (guitar); Vanessa Mae (violin).Recorded at Air Studios, London, England; Fantasy Studios, San Francisco, California; The Record Plant, Los Angeles, California."A Day In The Life" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.They hardly ever make 'em like this anymore. Once upon a time, as lovingly documented on priceless collections like GOLDEN THROATS, non-singers like William Shatner, Joey Bishop and Sebastian Cabot would try their hand at "vocalizing," with unintentionally hilarious results. By the '90s such folks were far too self-conscious for that sort of endeavor, and the novelty well ran dry. When Beatles producer George Martin decided it was time to make his own album, he obviously remembered his beginnings as a successful comedy producer. He assembled the entertaining, (intentionally) side-splitting IN MY LIFE. Calling upon the likes of Robin Williams, Jim Carrey and Sean Connery to interpret classic Beatles tunes will surely earn Martin an eternal place in the Dr. Demento Hall of Fame, and a reputation as a man confident enough to poke fun at his own musical legacy. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews  MasterpieceReview created: 06/08/07 by:  A masterpiece of musical arrangement by George Martin.The individual artists were chosen to suit the tracks and I thought it all worked incredibly well.A friend played it for me and I was hooked.The price of 1p plus P&P was great and listening to the CD makes me smile every time. Review ID: 10000000004133263 Was this review helpful? Report this review Beatles....with a twist!Review created: 07/05/07 by: I chose to buy this CD as I had it on tape and wanted it for my car. I already knew how fantastic an album this was. So many famous names performing so many famous songs. My favourite is the obscure I am the Walrus sung by just as obscure Jim Carrey. Jeff Beck's performance of Day in the Life is pure majesty! You have to listen to it to understand what I mean. Not a CD you can put on in the background unless you want to ignore it. Instead, I suggest sitting down with a glass or wine and enjoy the lyrics and mastery of the Beatles reborn through musicians and actors alike! Review ID: 10000000003527566 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Good songs - lousy interpretationsThis CD ruins some excellent Beatles classics. George Martin must have had a very off day. The sound of Sean Connery and 'My Life' is a nightmare. Review ID: 10000000003090285 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Beatles covers even better than the originals.Review created: 02/07/06 by: Another in my cassette tape to CD project - the Beatles are obviously one of essnetial pieces of Britain's music industry. A different take on covers in that various actors take part in this tribute - Goldie Hawn's Hard Day's Night is a favourite of mine. Review ID: 10000000001269513 Was this review helpful?
