MP3 David Garside - Half The Man: a Paul McCartney tribute
14 MP3 Songs
POP: Beatles-pop, ROCK: Acoustic
Details:
Half The Man is an album like no other.
Not only does it contain beautifully haunting, stripped-down versions of some of McCartney’s finest solo songs, it is (as far as is known to us at Crockett Records) the only McCartney tribute album devoted to his solo work recorded by a single artist.
On 18th June 2006, Sir Paul McCartney – the man who wrote ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’ – was himself 64 years old. David released Half The Man as a personal celebration of this, and the fact that he turned exactly half Macca’s age two days previously.
David says: “I realised the pop-significance of Sir Paul’s birthday in 2006, and then it dawned on me that I would be exactly half his age at the time. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to pay some kind of homage to the man whose all-round musicality I respect more than anyone. From an initial idea of maybe doing a special performance somewhere, 30 seconds later I’d decided only a full-blown tribute album would suffice!”
Including well-known hits such as ‘No More Lonely Nights’ and ‘Silly Love Songs’, plus more obscure gems like ‘Waterfalls’ and ‘Distractions’, it will appeal to both the hardcore Macca fan and people who simply appreciate acoustic music and good songwriting.
Featuring David’s wife and Birmingham Conservatoire graduate Elizabeth Garside on ‘cello, the interplay between David’s voice, guitar, piano and Liz’s classical elements creates a very unique atmosphere.
David: “I’m glad to have done my bit to introduce more people to Paul McCartney’s solo work, which is all too often overlooked. Happy birthday, Paul!”
