notes
A Rock guitarist does a piano album?
Yes
Fans of the Alt rocker are so used to thinking of him as a guitar-slinger that many don't realize that TJR’s first instrument was the piano.
In interviews TJR has cited the piano playing of Elton John as the reason he wanted to become a musician, but that the music of the Beatles was probably the most important to him.
"In my spare time I used to tinker with my favorite music (The Beatles) on piano and try to come up with instrumental arrangements. Then one day it struck me, why am I just tinkering with this? Why not do a real album? I threw myself into it and spent a great deal of time on the arrangements, and on becoming a better pianist in the process".
And so after three Rock Guitar Albums. TJR releases “In My Life – A Piano Tribute to the Beatles”.
6 classic Beatle tracks (plus one original composition to open the set) all re-interpreted as piano instrumentals

In My Life - a Piano Tribute to the Beatles
author: Mike RamirezAmazing, TJR's still got it. This is a very thoughtful and sometimes delicate tribute to some timeless music by what would seem like a very unlikely source. My first experience with the "Rip Roarin' TJR" was hearing him as a young lad playing classical songs on his old upright piano that his dear mother bought for him. He then ventured into more contempory artists like Elton John and The Beatles which became a firm foundation for the versatile artist that he is today. Deep roots allow a tree to withstand the storms and with the album TJR is giving us a glimpse of his musical roots. Hopefully we'll get another look, maybe a Vol.2 or even Elton John???
