Review of Walter Everett, The Beatles as Musicians: Revolver Through the Anthology (Oxford University Press, 1999)

View through CrossRef
The Beatles as Musicians offers an historical survey of the second part of the Beatles’ career. It includes analyses of every song that members of the Beatles wrote and released during 1966–70, as well as a brief review of the Beatles Anthology releases of 1995–96. Each song is discussed in terms of songwriting, recording, and musical expression. Though some of the musical analyses may likely be too demanding for readers without, or with only a little, training in music theory, the book will nevertheless be fascinating for anyone interested in the Beatles. The book’s focus is clearly on music, but it also offers much to readers more interested in the cultural life of the 1960s. This is a splendid book and surely a milestone in Beatles research.
