Arm-twisting is rarely required to gather a group of musicians to celebrate the music of a Beatle. That was certainly the case in 2014 when Beach Boys Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, Norah Jones, Heart’s Ann Wilson, the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, Perry Farrell, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, "Weird Al" Yankovic and more than a dozen other guest singers showed up in Hollywood for George Fest, a benefit tribute to the songs of George Harrison

It's really good. If you enjoy the Concert for George album, you will like this. Dhani Harrison looks and sounds hauntingly like his father and it is really cool seeing him perform George songs, as he has been known to do over the years.

The surprise of the album has to be Weird Al singing "What is Life?" It's really legit.

Hearing Norah Jones sing "Behind That Locked Door" could be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

The Flaming Lips' unique style really lends itself to their cover of "It's All Too Much," IMO one of the most underrated Beatles songs.
