Title: Brian recording a McCartney song for Paul tribute album?
Post by: NightHider on June 13, 2012, 06:39:10 PM
Saw this on wikipedia. With Paul's B-day fast approaching on June 18th, is this still happening?  Any word what song Bri plans on recording?


"An upcoming tribute album is expected in June 2012, to coincide with [Paul's] 70th birthday, featuring recordings of his songs by Kiss, Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Brian Wilson, Willie Nelson, Steve Miller, B.B. King and others."

Brian's been connected to various Paul tributes for the last 10 or so years, at least. Never seen an actual tune turn up, though.

Brian's expressed his appreciation of "Let It Be" several times. It would also be cool to see him take a shot at "Back Seat Of My Car". Or "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey".

It's possible I'm off on this, but I could've sworn there was talk of BW recording "Dear Boy" for a McCartney tribute album around a decade ago.

Anyone else remember this?

Would be cool if that was the song he chose to rock with.

He's done "She's Leaving Home" live with his band, maybe he'll record that.
