I feel like Caesar Rock is a song I'm not supposed to like, but do anyway...album's great btw, Happy With You, Ceasar Rock, Do It Now are stuck in my head at the moment. Funny enough, the songs I like the least seems to be the ones that were released on video a month or two ahead of the release...Still aborbing, so please excuse the less than detailed review

But as far as his voice, it's not 1969 or 1976 anymore...so what? Still sounds very good...while some of his vocals are what I've come to expect these days, there are other points where he seems to recapture a biit of what I thought he had lost. Anyway, I'll keep tracking along with this album and update my thoughts as pieces and bits sink in

First, before I add to my comments above - the word in bold is supposed to be 'absorbing', but it seems I can no longer edit the post...

But anyway, add Dominos and Despite Repeated Warnings to the songs I'm stuck on...and speaking of the latter, while that song overall sounds nothing like 'Gratitute' from MAF, he stole a bass line from that song (maybe second verse of Despite Repeated Warnings???)  and it put my right back there for that momentary bass line...LOL

What's this about?

Edit to add - I read the description and it seems like its all Paul (plus Abe on Drums) while the Hollywood Vampires simply ride the coat tails

This was for the Johnny Depp band and recording of The Hollywood Vampires recording "Come and Get It" a possible Beatles song composed by McCartney, but became a hit for a new Apple band called Badfinger. You can buy the soundtrack on iTunes and other music suppliers McCartney original demo meant for The Beatles:

Badfinger:

Thanks a lot - definitely familiar with the 1969 Paul demo/Badfinger versions. Had no idea about this Hollywood Vampires thing though...Cool deal

Btw, another passing of note (couple of days after the fact) - David Cassidy. As you can see in the video below, he once covered what could be considered an obscure (by the less avid Paul/Wings fans) Wings song - of course we know it:

HaileyMcComet:

I'm sorry to hear about your father, Veggie. VB? Can we call you Ralph? It sounds strange to refer to someone as a veggieburgher. Either way, 93. We should all live so long. The things he must have seen.

x2 - I'm glad he enjoyed a long life. But it doesn't make it easier when it ends. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family

Rubber Soul13:

"Shout It Out Loud" - KISS

LOL - I have a 'Kiss' related entry as well...Beth

Let's hear'em...I can tell you one of mine right off the bat - I'm not a fan of REM, but like the song Everybody Hurts

SusyLuvsPaul:

American opera singer Barbara Cook has passed away.

Here's a song she sang (before Paul McCartney/the Beatles did a few years later)

Actually misread your post...my last post was based on thinking Mull of Kintyre somehow introduced you to 'Macca-dom'
