Ya what's goin' on here ! Macca did an album of covers and now the Neil the Great is doing them ? Maybe they realize time is getting short and they loved these songs enough to release them to the public ! Lord only knows that they've paid their dues a thousand times over ...so now ..the heck with it...I'll put out what I want to put out !!!! at this juncture in my career.
They (Macca and Neil) have entertained millions upon millions of music lovers for the past 40 years or so with fantastic original music so I really don't have a big problem with their cover releases at this time in their careers. They're simply doing songs that they've loved all their life ! As far as ripping off the public ...bullocks...lots of artists release covers much much earlier in their careers !
Having said that, I won't be in a frantic rush to hear Neil's new covers album just like I wasn't in a big rush to hear McCartney's either !
(I had a problem with John Lennon's Rock n' Roll covers album until I realised that he was doing songs of his idols and not particularly ours..he was an idol to us himself )

Music Head Wrote:sounded good till I saw it was covers
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
