This Bird Has Flown: A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul, 2005
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
An entirely unnecessary but pleasant and genial cover of the Beatles classic, with a fuller instrumentation and Miller's earnest, conversational voice replacing the lads' Liverpudlian ache. Also, he eschews, thankfully, the hissed intake of breath after the "girl" in the chorus, a production choice which I never understood in the original. As an affectionate, unpretentious interpretation, this song reminds you how sturdy the underlying composition really is.
