Actually, though, I don't mind him rocking out; one of the things I like about his Fireman stuff is the fact that he does head off into the ecstatic zone. I just don't get why he threw in all that Little Richard business. It feels as if he's trying too hard. All those grunts and gasps, and that aggressively fuzzy guitar -- for me it doesn't work with the slackened tempo. And I had expected to love his contribution, so that increases my sense of let-down. <br /><br />OTOH I realize that I forgot to mention Cee Lo Green's spiffy track, "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care." I think it's irresisitbly fun.Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-53663344704679491502011-08-02T11:43:06.287-07:002011-08-02T11:43:06.287-07:00This was posted in error on another thread...
Ano...This was posted in error on another thread...<br /><br />Anonymous said... <br />Almost every review of Rave On has praised McCartney's take on It's So Easy, as one of the few playful and imaginative interpretations of a Buddy Holly song. It's funny that most Paul fans have pretty much hated Paul's version. <br /><br />I like it myself. It's wild. And It's So Easy is one of Buddy Holly's least interesting songs. It needed a shake up.<br /><br />--DrewHolly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-88936197382346398432011-07-31T16:58:01.410-07:002011-07-31T16:58:01.410-07:00I'm with you, Holly.

True, it does shed the charm of Holly's original, but it also rocks harder than McCartney has in years (maybe decades). And if that means he sounds like he's trying to impress the rockers down at the Cavern Club, maybe that's not such a bad thing!<br /><br />The Jenny O. track is very tasty -- and the She & Him track has a goofy charm to it.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372496375739714441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-40243509869000489122011-07-28T17:09:52.577-07:002011-07-28T17:09:52.577-07:00I remember seeing a comment about the Blondie cove...I remember seeing a comment about the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BVjjIavmVE" rel="nofollow">Blondie cover</a> of "I'm Gonna Love You Too" that they did it because, at the time, (1978) people were predicting a Buddy Holly revival, which ended up not happening. <br /><br />I like their version which is both respectful of the original and one of more overtly punk sounding Blondie songs.NickShttp://www.beforeyoulisten.comnoreply@blogger.com
