PAUL McCARTNEY TRIBUTE

VA - Let Us in Americana, The Music of Paul McCartney [2013]

This album is a tribute to Paul McCartney, one of the greatest songwriters of all time. It features some awesome Americana artists who sing his classics in their own style. The album was made to support a good cause, the Women and Cancer Fund, in memory of Paul’s wife Linda, who died of cancer.

The album has songs from Paul’s solo career and his work with John Lennon. It has fun songs that make you want to dance and sing along, like Band on the Run by Will Hoge and Yellow Submarine by Buddy Miller. It has romantic songs that touch your heart and soul, like My Love by Holly Williams and I Will by Steve Earle and Allison Moorer. It has songs that make you think about the world and its problems, like Give Ireland Back to the Irish by Ketch Secor and The Fool on the Hill by Bruce Cockburn. And it has songs that you might not know very well, but they are cool and quirky, like Come and Get It by The Wood Brothers and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Ed Snodderly. 

The album shows how Paul’s songs are versatile and emotional. They can be sung in different ways and still sound amazing. They can be adapted to different genres and instruments and still keep their essence. They can be interpreted by different artists and still convey their message. The album ends with a beautiful version of Let It Be by four powerful singers who harmonize together: Amy Helm, Fiona McBain, Allison Moorer, and The McCrary Sisters. They sing with passion and grace, giving a fitting finale to the album.

If you love Paul McCartney and his music, you will enjoy this album a lot. It is a respectful and creative homage to his legacy. It is a testament to the enduring appeal and influence of his music across genres and generations. It is a celebration of his talent and his spirit. It is a gift to his fans and to the world. (B)
