It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The audio sample is placed at the beginning of the section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.

  • Music scholar Laura Turner writes about how the Charles River Valley Boys' cover transposes the song from the Beatles' original modal E to a modal A. She further writes about how Joe Val's first vocal is joined by a banjo that emphasizes the song's triple meter. She describes how his vocal emphasizes a rhotic "r" and states that his "representative bluegrass high tenor range" signals American "southernness". (Turner, Laura (2016). "Beatle Country: A Bluegrass 'Concept Album' from 1966". In Womack, Kenneth (ed.). New Critical Perspectives on the Beatles: Things We Said Today. London: Springer Publishing. pp. 77–94. ISBN 978-1-137-57013-0.)
  • Producer Peter K. Siegel compares Val's vocal to that of bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, in particular Monroe's rendition of the murder ballad "Roane County Prison", a traditional song from the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee sometimes known as "In the Hills of Roane County". (ibid.)
