Pat Metheny's new album, What's It All About, includes Metheny's solo-guitar take on the Beatles classic "And I Love Her." The video, which premiered on MSN yesterday, is now available here. "The Beatles were huge for me," Metheny says. "Without them, I don't know if I even would have become a musician or a guitar player ... It is kind of impossible to imagine doing a record like this without including at least one Beatles song."

Pat Metheny's new album, What's It All About, was released earlier this week on Nonesuch Records. MSN Music, which continues to stream the album in full via its Listening Booth, premiered the video of Metheny performing the classic Beatles tune "And I Love Her," which appears on the record, yesterday. You can now watch the video below and at nonesuch.com/media, where you can also find additional performance videos of songs from the record: Carly Simon's "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Girl from Ipanema," and The Association's "Cherish."

"The Beatles were huge for me," Metheny says in discussing the inclusion of "And I Love Her" on the new record. "Without them, I don't know if I even would have become a musician or a guitar player. When their hits started coming out, I was eight and nine years old, and it had a tremendous impact on me. I saw the movie A Hard Day's Night multiple times when it came out, and I always loved that song. It is kind of impossible to imagine doing a record like this without including at least one Beatles song."

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
