The new Beatles song... thanks to the same technology that Peter Jackson used to make the recent Beatles documentary, they were able to clean up/isolate John's vocals from an old demo of an unreleased song. Paul and Ringo added tracks, massive production and voila, the new song was released a few days ago. At first I was not super impressed, but it has grown on me and the ear worm has struck again. I can't get the damn song out of my head!

I have never been a huge Beatles fan, their music just doesn't do anything for me. I can appreciate the impact they had on popular music and their innovativeness, but but their songs don't speak to me on any level that makes me want to listen to it. That's also pretty much how I feel about this song, It's cool but it doesn't do anything for me.

When it comes to the 60's I'm much more interested in bands like John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Taj Mahal, Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Now, if they find some unheard recordings of MIke Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield or Jesse Ed Davis I'd be real interested, that would be cool.

I have an eclectic taste in music. I have an extensive vinyl collection... it's all over the place. I do not listen to any one genre/artist for very long. I move around quite a bit. I don't have a lot of Blues in my collection, but Jazz... oh yeah. That includes Taj Mahal (who is actually hard to categorize). But I also have syrupy Pop stuff 1960s-1980s that I enjoy.

In the 1980s-90s, I was heavily into British Rock (The Cure, Smiths, Stone Roses, Radiohead, Blur, The Verve, etc.). Tangentially, The Beatles Anthology disc set was released in the 1990s. Until then, I was really only aware of their hits. I became a fan after devouring the Anthology disc set. The demos and lesser known material really lit me up. Even so, I only periodically put a Beatles record on. I'm more likely to put on Lennon's Double Fantasy.

Taj Mahal is very hard to classify, he incorporates tons of different styles into his music. But he's always had one foot firmly in the blues and blues rock camp. In the late 60s during the time Jesse Ed Davis and Ry Cooder were his guitar players it was straight up blues and folk blues. It wasn't until after his second album (Natch'l Blues) that he really started branching out into different musical styles.
