Lennon-McCartney Non-Beatles Songs Covered For New All-Star Album
Singers from Cheap Trick and the B-52s are taking part in a new covers album titled From A Window: Lost Songs Of Lennon & McCartney. The 17-track album includes songs that John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote for other artists–including Badfinger, Cilla Black, and Billy J. Kramer–but were never released by the Beatles themselves.
Graham Parker, the B-52’s Kate Pierson, and Buffalo Tom’s Bill Janovitz are each featured on several songs, while Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander joins the band Johnny Society for P.J. Proby’s “That Means A Lot.”
From A Window comes out April 8, and the first single will be “Step Inside Love,” a top-10 U.K. hit for Black that was written by McCartney. Parker, Pierson, Janovitz, and Johnny Society plan to tour in support of the album starting May 16 in Boston.
