Let Me Roll It by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1973

Paul McCartney’s answer to John Lennon’s "How Do You Sleep?" (if you don’t count "Dear Friend" off of the "Wild Life" album). However, I don’t see it as a response as much as other’s do. Maybe there’s something I’m missing. What is there is the same guitar riff as in Lennon’s "Cold Turkey". It kind of plods along for me, but it must be one of McCartney’s personal favorites, as he has played it on virtually every tour ever since. Actually, he plays it waaaaay too often for my tastes.

Different live versions appear on "Wings Over America" in 1976, 1993’s "Paul is Live", 2002/3's "Back in the US/World" and on 2009’s "Good Evening New York City". The studio version originally appears on "Band on the Run", and the b-side of "Jet" and also appears on 2001’s "Wingspan".
