If you can't picture Ray Davies singing this on a cloudy day on the beach with a cigar hanging from his mouth, maybe you're not listening to music the same way as the rest of us.
Another of Paul's solo efforts within the Beatles is a simple folk song recorded on the same sessions as an abandoned Harrison track, an abandoned McCartney track, and one of the worst tracks on The White Album.
The first Kinks song to feature a solo Dave Davies writing credit is a fun country ditty with a deceptively unique structure.
This rocker hearkens back to McCartney's days with Wings and is a highlight of his more recent output.
On this acoustic driven track, Ray pays tribute to many of the American acts that inspired him in his youth.
