Midnight Special by Paul McCartney – ****
First released: 1988
Old time blues tune performed admirably by Paul for his "Choba B CCCP" album. Later, he performed it live for "Unplugged (The Official Bootleg)", but this version didn't end up on the album. Instead it was the b-side to the "Biker Like An Icon" CD single. Go figure. On that version, Paul describes the origins of the "Midnight Special" and what Sugarland is.

Microbes by George Harrison – **
First released: 1968
Another track from George’s "Wonderwall Music". Kind of a whiny sounding track, sounding somewhat like someone letting the air out of a balloon. Not sure if I really like it.

Michelle by The Beatles – ****
First released: 1965
This kind of is like "Yesterday, Part Two", as it sounds very similar, yet very unique. Paul was really composing some great stuff in 1965-1966 after a bit of a slump in 1964. It’s from "Rubber Soul" and is again one of those songs that probably should have been a single. As it was, it was included in the "1962-1966" compilation because of this potential single status. Paul performs a live version for 1993’s "Paul is Live" and again on and 2003's "Back in the World". It’s nice that Paul performed a personal live version for Michelle Obama in 2010.
