What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

PAUL McCARTNEY "McCartney" vinyl/cd/deluxe boxset  1970.

his debut solo album.
thought i would revisit this with the impending release of McCartney-III in a few weeks.
i could go into the politics and Beatle infighting which prompted this but thats for another day.
a strange eclectic mix.
the first rock album where the artist playes all instruments, produces and mixes it himself.
the first 'indi' or 'garage' album, recorded at home on a four track tape deck.
okay.
it sounds raw, ragged and unfinished but thats the charm of it after the spiffy production of Beatles albums.
a couple of instrumentals on here and the final track is basically a 4 minute drum solo bar a guitar riff on a couple of occasions for a few seconds.
some catchy little ditties and a couple of McCartney classics and snide dig at John with "teddy boy" (the start of the on-wax feud between the two)
either way was a total pleasure to listen to something simple and effective for a change, not sure i would say i love this album but its certainly one of the albums in his arsenal that i recommend people to listen to if only for its uniqueness from 1970.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

would be so easy to post "maybe im amazed" or "every night" but heres somehting a little differnet, a blues rocker:
