Johnny Flynn Covers Rocky Raccoon

Track: Rocky Raccoon

Artist: Johnny Flynn

MOJO says: Recorded during one night in August 1968, Paul McCartney delivered a satirical cartoon western caper serving up lyrical imagery that could have easily graced the script of a Hanna-Barbara TV series of the time. Prone to his own sardonic reflections, rising nu-folk star Johnny Flynn accentuates the loose country feel of a track and transforms it into a good-time, banjo-and-fiddle hoedown.

  • This track evokes the playful spirit heard in the other takes of these tracks. Definately reminds me of Kinfauns.
