Laurence Juber’s ‘LJ Can’t Stop Playing the Beatles’
“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
GRAMMY®
winning guitarist, solo performer, recording artist, composer and arranger
Laurence Juber recently released LJ Can't Stop Playing The Beatles! (Hologram
Recordings), the 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.
Described by the Los Angeles Times as
"Uniformly exquisite and dazzingly executed”, this new album follows the “fantastic” (Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine)
LJ Plays the Beatles (2000), voted one of Acoustic Guitar Magazine's
all-time Top Ten albums, and LJ Plays the Beatles Vol. 2 (2010), “a
keenly pleasurable journey through some of the best music ever created” (Acoustic Guitar).
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.
