Let Us In Americana/The Music of Paul McCartney
-
Well there's 3 reasons you should all think about buying this CD: 1. It's a bunch of respected folk/bluegrass/country artists honoring Paul's music 2. The CD is "for Linda" and is raising money for the Women and Cancer Fund. 3. It's only $7.99 on Amazon Here's an excerpt of a favorable review: http://www.thebluegrasssituation.com/read/random-pickings-lee-zimmerman-1
With Buddy Miller, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Jim Lauderdale and Teddy Thompson among those on board, this set?s bound to attract attention, a good thing too because the proceeds go to the Women and Cancer Fund. What?s especially surprising, and gratifying as well, is the way Macca?s songs sync so easily with these country trappings. The down home designs Lauderdale applies to ?I?m Looking Through You,? Earle and wife Allison Moorer?s sweet serenade on ?I Will? and Sam Bush?s typically rollicking ?I?ve Just Seen a Face? all testify to the songs? crossover appeal. In fact, most of the tracks sound like they were written with Americana in mind.

This is actually the second CD for Linda of Paul's music. The first one came out a couple years ago and is called Let Us In Nashville. It is on my Amazon for $11.99.

Didn't know about the Nashville one, but I do like this Americana one a lot!

I have the Nashville one on my iPod but this Americana album is much better, IMO. Better mix of artists and very well done covers.

I bet this sounds real good
