Well, everyone here seem to care for this song. I really really like it and never skip it. It is SO Ringo and country music was always his first love. My goodness he released a country album "Beacoup of Blues" after the breakup, and his recent album "LOOK UP" is also a country album, and he just recently performed at the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville which was a thrill for him. I just love the upbeat music in this and Ringo's voice.

The Beatles themselves (along with George Martin) decided on running orders, track selections and artwork for official British releases – and those British releases were also the versions that were released across the rest of the world. In North America though, Capitol was free to do its own thing. So, whereas British albums typically featured 13 tracks, Capitol would usually only include 10 and add singles and b-sides too. This allowed them to squeeze three 'albums' worth of material out of every two official Beatles releases. This resulted in some really strange track configurations at times. But with Rubber Soul, Capitol actually managed to create a really cohesive album that stands on its own merits. It was that Capitol version of Rubber Soul which so impressed Brian Wilson that he was inspired to start work on Pet Sounds. By the time of Sgt Pepper, however, the Beatles were so sick of Capitol’s interference, they insisted that Pepper be released unchanged in every territory, something that continued for the rest of their career. The only release Capitol meddled with in the late sixties was Magical Mystery Tour. A double EP in the UK, Capitol expanded it into an album, adding all of the band’s 1967 singles and b-sides to pad it out into an excellent album. The Beatles have since adopted the Capitol version of Magical Mystery Tour as part of their official canon.

2025-01-27 17:53:23 +0000 UTCThis is one of the few Beatle songs that is just…OK to me. Just doesn't sound like the Beatles I normally hear if I'm being honest.

2025-01-26 22:35:30 +0000 UTCNot the strongest track on this album, but so full of charm. Ringo's doleful vocals fit the song perfectly. They resurrected this song, one of Lennon's earliest compositions, when needing material in a hurry to finish off Rubber Soul. McCartney threw in some lyrics to help finish it off with a couple of lines (or words) from Ringo, giving him a rare songwriting credit. Ringo has a deep, longlasting love of country music. His new album, released this month, co-produced by none other than T-Bone Burnett has topped the country charts around the world and is a great piece of work.
