The Beatles euphoria was still thriving with some force in the late 1960s, amidst an explosion of new talent in songwriters and groups. Against a tide of emerging talents such as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ray Davies, and David Bowie, the continued appeal of Lennon and McCartney remained devout and was evident across the globe in the countless translations and interpretations of their songs. From Africa to Italy to South America and China, The Beatles songbook was a virtual new testament for young people across the world. Thus, their songs and continued appeal will never expire. Northern Songs is a 24-track set of rare, obscure, and beguiling interpretations of The Beatles songbook from America, Italy, Africa, Portugal, and England. Features Katja Ebstein, I Rolls 33, Claes Dieden, Ward 6, Danny Cox, Terry Manning, Theo Bikel, Jackie & Roy, Duffy Power, Hard Meat, Napoleon, The Cavalry Twill, Russ Loader, Peter Sellers, Charlotte Dada, Noel Harrison, The Sunshine Company, The Portable Flower Factory, Bobby Bryant, Morgana King, P.P.
