Run Devil Run

Track Time: 3:29
Release: 1999

"Mick Green (The Pirates) tells me 'Lonesome Town' was an A-side, I thought it was a B-side - but I loved it. 'Lonesome Town' is like 'Heartbreak Hotel', it's a place we all know... You hit a nerve with everyone with those kind of songs. It's a nice song, sort of Elvis-y, and as I was coming to do it, I thought I'll do it like that. But as the session came nearer I thought, nah, I can't just do it like him. Some of the tracks, like 'Blue Jean Bop' and 'She Said Yeah', I don't need to go far off the original, I know it'll be different enough when I do it. But with 'Lonesome Town' I was worried it was going to be a pale imitation of Ricky - and he got there first, so fair dues.

"But in actual fact, when I got to the studio, I said I know what I'll do - I'll do it high... and I was looking for the new key. But the great thing with working so fast was that I had to come up with a solution exactly like The Beatles would have done. So I got Dave [Gilmour - Pink Floyd] to sing the harmony, which we thought of in five seconds flat. Let's try it. It works. Great, OK, that's it. That was the excitement of working that way."Producers: Chris Thomas, Paul McCartney Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Paul Hicks Mastered: Steve Rooke Studio Location: Abbey Road Studios Recorded: 3/3/99 Musicians: Paul McCartney: Vocal, Bass Guitar David Gilmour: Electric Guitar, Backing Vocals Mick Green: Electric Guitar Pete Winfield: Piano Ian Paice: Drums Dave Mattacks: Percussion

This was the first song Carl Perkins wrote, "I knew Carl, he was a great old country boy who used to pick cotton and he'd have all these stories. This one is about his girlfriend Maggie, who he'd sometimes take to the movies on his mule, old Becky. They had no car so they rode to the movie show. And it's true".Producers: Chris Thomas, Paul McCartney Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Paul Hicks Mastered: Steve Rooke Studio Location: Abbey Road Studios Recording: 2/3/99 Musicians: Paul McCartney: Vocal, Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar David Gilmour: Electric Guitar Mick Green: Electric Guitar Ian Paice: Drums

It always takes me back to that bar.Producers: Chris Thomas, Paul McCartney Engineers: Geoff Emerick, Paul Hicks Mastered: Steve Rooke Studio Location: Abbey Road Studios Recording: 2/3/99 Musicians: Paul McCartney: Vocal, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar David Gilmour: Electric Guitar Mick Green: Electric Guitar Pete Winfield: Piano, Hamond Organ Ian Paice: Drums
