Our Take

AL DI MEOLA Across The Universe - The Beatles Vol. 2

Al di Meola's latest album, "Across The Universe - The Beatles Vol. 2," is a delightful journey through the iconic Beatles songs reimagined with a Latin twist. Known for his virtuosic guitar skills, di Meola brings a fresh perspective to these well-loved classics.

From the moment the album kicks off with a lively rendition of "Here Comes the Sun," you know you're in for a treat. Di Meola's intricate guitar work shines throughout the album, adding layers of depth and complexity to familiar tunes like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

The standout track on the album has to be "Eleanor Rigby," where di Meola's flamenco-influenced playing takes the song to new heights. The haunting melody is given a fiery makeover, making it one of the most memorable moments on the record.

While some purists may turn up their noses at the idea of reinterpreting the Beatles, di Meola's passion and skill are undeniable. He manages to pay homage to the original songs while also putting his own unique stamp on them.

Overall, "Across The Universe - The Beatles Vol. 2" is a must-listen for Beatles fans and music lovers alike. It's a fun, quirky, and masterful tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. Highly recommended.
