I Need You (Beatles Fest)

[BerryPatch]

Hey hey hey, another Beatles cover. A strong early Harrison track from Help!, it's songs like these from their catalogue that really feel like early power pop, so I thought it would be cool to change it up and sort of turn it into one.

This one is "from the vaults," so to speak. I recorded the instrumental on the micro br back in early 2018, just before I started recording on the BR 1200. I was never sure what to do with it until this festival popped up. I transferred it over to the 1200 and put vocals on top. I'm satisfied with the results...

Garageband Drums
Danelectro 12 string

I can see why you are satisfied....a worthy cover of a great musician.... excellent work !!!!

the backing vocals are stellar as well...and the guitar and bass work...

[Ferryman_1957]

I agree, you should be well satisfied, it sounds great and I absolutely love the bass work. Vocals are fab and really bring back memories of watching "Help" on the TV. Lovely stuff!

I didn't know the original, but I was curious enough to listen to it after hearing your version.
I was surprised with the change! The original is a somewhat of a more mellow song, and you naturally made it into a rock song, almost anthemic!

As you are starting to guess, I am biased towards the bass, so I really enjoyed your playing... Right in the end, I thought you would be starting a bass solo! it was calling for it!

Perhaps next song...

Really well done, start to finish.

[Ray Brookes]

Well done! I'm always reluctant to cover Beatles songs because the original recordings are so bloody perfect that they're difficult to emulate let alone improve on. However, you've done a great job here with this early George Harrison song with great vocals, guitars and a rocking bass track.

[Kenneth]

Very nice. Sounds true to the time. I don't remember the original.
Strong track Keith.

[cuthbert]

Great interpretation of one of George's better early songs - I love how it's true to the original even though you've made some changes that make it your own. And those backing vocal harmonies are spot-on.

Well done, Keith!
