Local Gentry, 1968
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
My first impression is this is not on the whole a successful cover. At times, Gentry's voice seems over-taxed and rough, and the production overall is a thin tinny sound, with off-beat and distracting instrumentation (is that a mouth harp making that quacking sound?). Luckily, it's such a great song that even this occasionally desultory performance still has something to offer.
