Details:
In 2005 Jock Bartley and Steven Weinmeister were asked to perform, as FIREFALL ACOUSTIC DUO, a few acoustic Beatles songs on 99.5 The Mountain, a top radio station in Denver, Colorado. They had a great time doing so and the positive response led the station to ask them to appear a second time. After a third time of singing and strumming their favorite Fab Four songs on air, they kept hearing âWhenâs the CD going to come out?â

It made sense, although as everyone knows, over the decades, so many âcoversâ of Beatles songs should never have been made or released. But even so, Steve and Jock were excited by the prospect and felt up to the task. Why? Because their love and respect of The Beatlesâ timeless music would guide those sessions.. and because it was so much fun to play and sing those songs. And so in January of 2007, they began in earnest to record acoustic versions of some of their favorite Beatles songs.

As it turned out, many of the tunes they picked were not the hugely successful âsinglesâ that still permeate the worldâs consciousness. They picked a number wonderful âalbum cutsâ - songs they grew up on in the 1960s, songs they learned how to sing harmonies with.. songs as Steven has said, âthat are in our DNA.â Songs like âGirl,â âNorwegian Wood,â âIâll Be Back,â âYouâre Gonna Lose That Girlâ and âNo Reply.â Some of these FIREFALL ACOUSTIC recordings are straight forward and uncomplicated, like theyâd be in someoneâs living room or live on the radio. And then on others like âEleanor Rigby,â âCome Togetherâ and âWithin You Without You,â Jock and Steve have treated them in new and different directions, creating surprising and satisfying versions of those classic songs. Their version of âCome Togetherâ features a swampy acoustic slide guitar groove; their âEleanor Rigbyâ is a medieval Madrigal of layered acoustic guitars and mandolin; âWithin You Without Youâ is a high string acoustic guitar raga with tablas and udu that captivates and soars; and their version of âGirlâ features John Magnie of the Subdudes on accordion that will transport listeners to the streets of Paris.

The Beatles are the best band ever. Their songs are some of the most brilliant and emotional music ever composed; their original recordings between 1965 and â69 are as magical and transcendent as recordings can be. Steven and Jock have treated these eleven Beatles songs with love, reverence and the upmost care. They humbly offer these acoustic versions of Beatles music, paying tribute to their musical and cultural heroes. The smiles and pure joy they both experienced in the studio comes through on every cut.
