Tumbling Dice
from arguably the best Stones album, Exile on Main St. released this day in 1972. Nice live version here.
On Why We Love The Beatles
Nicholas Bate on Why We Love The Beatles – George
The end of The Beatles led us to All Things Must Pass – possibly the best of all the post Beatles solo efforts.
Spill The Wine
Happy Birthday to Eric Burdon who celebrates 78 today.
Blue Sky
Gov’t Mule dug out some Allman Brothers Band classics for their recent Macon show. Jack Pearson sits on this tasty gem while Warren plays Duane’s goldtop.
Wanderlust
From the April 1982 release Tug of War. Critically and publicly well regarded it spawned a few singles and is considered one of his best non-Wings solo projects.
I always loved this song here – “Wanderlust”

Build Your Own Best Of – Paul McCartney
So, how do you even do a BYOBO for this guy – one of my favorite songwriters and really prolific at that. I decided to include solo / Wings etc all on this list for the sake of ease, even though that did make the process more difficult.
So anyway… once again inspired by Nat at Mini-Obs, the idea is the same as always:
Pick one of your favorite bands / artists and list 10-15 songs by that band / artist to compile your own best of compilation.
