The Art of McCartney – for people who have the Bob Dylan-syndrome with Paul McCartney
By Stephen Pate – If you feel about Paul McCartney like some people do about Dylan – love the songs hate the singer – your wish has come true with The Art of McCartney
.
All the best Paul McCartney tunes sung by people who don’t sing as well as he does – the greatest tribute.
OMG Bob Dylan sings “Things We Said Today.”
That’s classic. 34-tracks of The Art of McCartney is now streaming. Paul McCartney as he never sounded in The Beatles, Wings or just Sir Paul – the tribute of tributes.
Of course, Sir Paul McCartney is one of the greatest songwriters of all time and a fantastic performer.
Among the cover artists paying homage to Sir Paul are Heart, B.B. King, Barry Gibb, Brian Wilson, Billy Joel, Kiss, Willie Nelson and Steve Miller. OK I give in – I have to own this album just for the novelty and Heart – what can I say about carrying a torch?
November 17th 2014 is the release date for The Art of McCartney (Amazon Deluxe Exclusive) (2 CD + 1 DVD) at $22.98.
Same price in Canada for The Art of McCartney (Amazon Deluxe Exclusive) [2 CD + DVD]
with free shipping. What a deal for Canadians. That’s a no brainer.
The deluxe packaging has a double CD, +60 minute film, 16-page booklet, and a hard cardboard sleeve supposedly shaped like Sir Paul’s Hoffner bass.
