Josh Turner and friends cover the Paul McCartney ditty from the Ram album. I really enjoyed the extended banjo, fiddle, bass, and drum chorus at the end. And how the heck does Josh do that video editing, keeping all the audio in synch?

There’s something about the musical structure of this song that made it one of my favorites from the first time I heard it. Great lead by John and harmonies by Paul.
