Paul McCartney's first solo album...worth checking out
« on: April 11, 2005, 07:36:59 PM »
I came across Paul McCartney's first solo album after leaving The Beatles. Incredibly enough, besides just singing by himself without his 3 comrades. He plays every instrument, wrote every song and sang every note (besides his wife supplying a few harmonies). There are some great songs, and a few excellent complex instrumentals. One of the most famous songs, and one of my faves on it is Maybe I'm Amazed. I happen to have it on my computer and would like for all to check it out:

If you like it I recommend checking the album out.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Yeah, it's definetly a famous song but not well known who does it. It's become a favourite of mine. Harrison's solo work is great as well. An album I would recommend you checking out (if you haven't already) is Cloud Nine. That's a great album.
