Mother Nature

Enjoy her...













Wayne McGhie - I Can See Mother Nature (1970: Wayne McGhie & the Sounds of Joy)
 - Soooo much tremolo on that guitar... but it's just the right amount....  this is one of those dusty old recordings that sounds like it grew straight from the earth.  The last saxophone note is incredible.

The Beatles - Child of Nature (1968: Esher Demos)
  - Jealous Guy in it's earliest form.  I wish it had stayed like this...

The Beatles - Mother Nature's Son (1968/2009: The Beatles)
  - But Paul stole John's idea and turned it into this song... already one of my favorite Beatles recordings... but with the new 2009 remaster it jumps up to a whole other level.  Play it loud and you can really hear the instruments breath.

Oriental Sunshine - Mother Nature (1970: Dedicated to the Bird We Love)
  - A really nice song... it's got that 70s child-like folk song vibe with some really pretty indian instrumentation and great harmonies.... the chorus makes the song for me.
