just found this about bbking.. http://instagram.com/p/tS3DBRlTYH/
I dont want to be judging fast on that. but really I was expecting more sole in singing and solo from BBKing this song deserves to be on the best classical blues list ever!
I think you meant more "soul" not "sole."
(but I agree with you!)
yes, glad the meaning was more obvious than my spelling
From what I've heard of demos so far, maybe the album aims to make people go back to original tracks and understand that no one can sing like Paul McCartney. And this is a fact!

Thanks for sharing that. Wasn't sure how Alice would do, but I like it. Very close to the original, though.

I am very excited to get this CD!! Covers always give me a new appreciation for material I have hear many times.

I think this is a really cool project! It is great to hear McCartney tunes interpreted by others. I was skeptical, but even Dylan and Willie Nelson's versions have charm and style. Of course, they are quite different from Paul but that's the point. If someone else doing these songs sounds great, then they are great songs. Can't wait to get it!

Do you really think they sound different? I was hoping for so much more. I think most sound like the originals.

Well, I think if you have Daltrey sing Helter Skelter, it is going to be raw and heavy. Maybe they picked folks for the style of music they play. But there is no way Dylan or Nelson sound too close to the originals. I mean, if you want a reggae version of Here There and Everywhere, I have no use for that.

The arrangements are too close to the originals is more what I meant. Of course the voices are different. Even Brian Wilson made it sound like the Beach Boys but with the same arrangements.

Fair enough. But aren't they going to sound close to the originals if, as I have heard, Paul's band is playing behind the singers? I thought that is what was happening on some of these. But I do get your point. It is difficult to stray from the originals when they are so iconic and ingrained in all our DNA. Our mariachi tribute act covers Beatles tunes, and strives to have very mariachi arrangements of the songs, but damn if it is hard not to just play the arrangements the Beatles did. They are perfect! Ha ha!

I agree. The music is so good. Sometimes I wish Paul would realize how good his solo stuff is along with his Beatles stuff. I just found this online...Pure McCartney...complete show covering Ram. Why can't Paul do some of these songs?

I've seen this guy. Very good! And you make a good point about Paul.

So far, Owl City's LTWTMS sounds like my favorite cut so far. Still looking forward to Cheap Tricks' take on Jet and Kiss with Rock Show. Could do without Willie Nelson.

I have to say, it's so nice to hear someone playing the songs I want to really hear! Why does Paul ignore these great songs?
Going to listen to this again...did you listen to Audi's compilation? I really enjoy that as well!

Yes...this shows that they CAN BE DONE in concert. No reason not to do them. The melodies are fabulous!
