Blackbird
Blackbird was written by Paul McCartney and made into a solo recording with McCartney playing a beautiful
acoustic guitar, the Martin D-28. George Martin served as producer, with Geoff Emrick engineering in EMI
Studios in June 1968. They released the song on the Beatles White Album in November 1968 and the song
was credited to Lennon-McCartney.
Paul said he was inspired by the song he and George Harrison had attempted to play as kids, the famous lute piece
Bourrée Lute Suite No. 1 in E Min, written by J.S. Bach, a piece commonly played by classical guitarists.
The tapping sound has been reported by recording engineer Geoff Emrick to have been McCartney tapping his feet.
The bird sounds in the background is an actual recording of a male blackbird singing.
Nice selection, NCC-1701.
We get to hear the Fab Four rockin' the blues.
