Just curious to see what you guys think. Personally I am all for the Wings version. Denny does a great job with it  




Simon and Garfunkel version ^^




Wings cover version ^^


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."

"I'm Joe English and I'm from Glasgow, Scotland." xD

I liked the Simon and Garfunkel one but I think the Wings version was more folky sounding compared to the original. Denny's voice is really great for songs like this.

I seem to be the only dissenter so far.

Simon and Garfunkel.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I must say I really like the S&G harmonies on the song. I preferred Denny Laine's lead vocal tho as it sounded a bit stronger and more mean.

I quite like the Wings version, but that's probably because I like the song anyway. The S & G seems to have been pre-recorded for them to mime to, so it sounds better. The trouble I have with the Wings version is that acoustic guitars seldom record well on a live stage.
