Jumpin' Jim's '60s Uke-In

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on December 26, 2012):

This is a fun collection of songs from the 60s. The style is typical of the Jumpin' Jim's song book series, presenting the melody line, lyrics, and chords, along with some minimal play tips (chord charts, guide to transposing, etc.).

The song selection is rather heavy on the Beatles. There are a few songs that don't really fit with the flower power, love-in style cover design, e.g., Moon River and King of the Road.

Note that most, but not all, of the songs in the book also are in the much larger Daily Ukulele songbook, also from Jumpin' Jim Beloff.
