I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast!

Go back to the late 1960s/early 1970s as Dave interviews Chris O'Dell, who worked for the Beatles at Apple Records beginning in 1968, and continued working through the 1970s with CSN&Y, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and many others. Chris is famous for inspiring George Harrison's 1973 song "Miss O'Dell" (The B-side of "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)), but she had many more fascinating adventures and experiences working closely with the Beatles including seeing the Rooftop Concert, helping with the Concert for Bangladesh, and much more.

Enjoy this interview!

Better late than never! Here is our review of Ringo's new album What's My Name, released in late October 2019. We discuss all the tunes, including the cover of John Lennon's "Grow Old With Me," as well as the plethora of background vocalists and rotating lineups on each track. We also consider Ringo's recent comments about not making any more full-length albums and how that idea may have helped this album.

Note - the cover of "Grow Old With Me" referenced in the episode was by the Postal Service, not Death Cab for Cutie (same lead singer, though!).

Join us for a double feature episode where we review two recent Beatle-related films, John and Yoko: Above Us Only Sky and Yesterday. We go through the plots, some of the highlights, discuss the key moments, and give our recommendations. Enjoy!

In this episode, we walk through Sean Lennon's musical project and recordings with bassist Les Claypool. We discuss Lennon's songs from the albums both musically and lyrically, and talk about where these efforts fit into Sean's catalog. Very interesting music, to say the least!

Let's go back to June 1966 to hear the Beatles play their first concerts in Germany since 1962. They are recording Revolver at the time, and yet their live show is filled with tunes from a few years ago. We discuss the set list, the performances, and the importance of the performance in context.

We also share some recent Beatles news related to various releases, as well as the upcoming Abbey Road super deluxe box set. Enjoy!

In this episode, we revisit George Harrison's 1979 self-titled solo album. Was this George's high point at the end of the 1970s? We discuss what makes the album work so well lyrically and musically, and where it fits within George's solo work. At the end, Chris shares his review of seeing Jeff Lynne's ELO with opening act Dhani Harrison, who was an important inspiration for George Harrison.

How does Paul McCartney's 2018 solo album Egypt Station hold up nearly 9 months and three+ versions later? We discuss the different configurations, the new bonus tracks, and Paul's marketing schemes in general.
