WE'RE BAAAACK!
#90* Now and Then
Recorded LIVE with Blotto Beatles at The Fest For Beatles Fans
We finally had to figure out a way to rank “Now and Then,” which came out after we already began this silly enterprise. What better way to do it than in front of a live audience with our best pod pals, Blotto Beatles?! This was recorded LIVE at The Fest for Beatles Fans earlier this year, and it was a blast to finally figure out how this song sits for us after a bit of time. TL;DR, I love it, and I think it’s a wonderful addition to the Fab’s catalog. It’s tugs the heart strings in all the right ways, and if this is truly the end of the line for new recorded Beatles music, what a suitable ending, I think.
SO we’ve got a new #90! What do you think about “Now and Then” and #90? Let us know in the comments!

New Wings comp incoming! Does that mean more Wings on this coming tour? Fingers crossed!! What Wings songs would you like Paul to add to his set?

This footage looks and sounds fantastic. And the audio samples of the STINYC songs sound GREAT. The John Lennon folks really hit it out the park with restoration and remixes.

Hey Friends!
Sorry for the recent radio silence. We've been...well, we'just been reeeeeally busy lately. I've tried to find time to post and tell y'all that, but just haven't been able to, and to be honest now I can because technically after last night, we're on vacation. So..happy to say that we'll be starting to work on new stuff when we get back, and hopefully new episodes will be following in short order!
THAT SAID! If you're desperately missing my charm and wit, there's two episodes you can check out!
1) A few weeks ago, I joined up with Andy from 2Legs Podcast and vinylbenjy for a very special episode paying tribute to my hero, the late, great Brian Wilson. Watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELPU2BoWkl4&pp=0gcJCcwJAYcqIYzv or listen anywhere you get podcasts.
2) Last week I had a great time meeting up with Troubled Men Podcast to share a drink or two and talk all kind of things, my own musical journey and bands, Beatles of course, and so so more. Give it a listen at https://troubledmenpodcast.castos.com/ or anywhere you get podcasts!

#72 - I've Just Seen A Face
Out now at rankingthebeatles.com or anywhere you get podcasts

It's weird how many songs the Beatles have that aren't "hits" but are still universally loved. It seems everyone knows and loves "I've Just Seen A Face," despite never being a single and never appearing on the big compilations. Maybe it's just one that's found a way to sink its' teeth into anyone who's ever known the rush of new love. Maybe it's just one of those classic Paul melodies. Maybe it's the kind of country, kind of rock, kind of acoustic line it seems to walk so well. Maybe it's all of those. Either way, it's an absolute gem.

Joining us this week is ⁠Jack Petruzelli, producer, songwriter, musician, and founding member of ⁠The Fab Faux⁠, in addition to his work with folks like Rufus Wainwright, Joan Osborne, and more. He joins us to talk about what makes the Fab Faux work (they're probably the best Beatles tribute around, no wigs or costumes needed, just A-list players). We take a trip across previous rankings to question my sanity, while also discussing the upcoming ⁠Magical Mystery Camp⁠ (June 24-27), an all-inclusive, once-in-a-lifetime music vacation experience in the heart of the Catskills, exploring the music of The Beatles via performances, workshops, songwriting clinics and more! You can join the Fab Faux, Peter Asher, Joan Osborne, Laurence Juber and more, along with Beatle authors (and former RTB guests) Robert Rodriguez and Jerry Hammack, Ken Womack, and more in the Catskills for a Fab time! Learn more and sign up at https://www.magicalmysterycamp.com/

Ok Beatle friends (and fellow musicians and music industry friends)…here’s my big ask…finally planning our upcoming trip to the UK for July. Do I know anyone with a contact that could get Julia and I a tour at Abbey Road? It’s a bucket list dream, and I’m putting it out Into the universe.

#73 - Blackbird
Out now at rankingthebeatles.com or wherever you get podcasts!
McCartney's ability to craft the most capitvating, simple, and gorgeous melodies never fails to amaze. Conceived (we think/he tells us) as a song of encouragement and support for the civil rights movement, in full swing by 1968, "Blackbird" has become one of Paul's signature songs. It was the title of his poetry collection. It's one of the most tattoo'd Beatle lyrics and imagery. It's one of his best, and he knows it, and we know it.

Joining us this week is Allan Kozinn, co-author of the brilliant McCartney Legacy book series. Vol.2 dropped at the end of 2024, and like Vol. 1 before, has garnered rave reviews. It's the most in-depth and thoughtful dive on Paul's non-Beatles years ever done, and we can't recommend it enough! Allan drops in to talk his "demonic" book, the human side of Paul, uncovering treasures in plain sight, and more! Grab a copy at ⁠https://www.mccartneylegacy.com!
