#68 - All I've Got To Do with Mary Devlin (aka @beatledirt)
About this episode
The episode features a discussion about the Beatles song 'All I've Got To Do' with guest Mary Devlin, exploring its musical elements and her new single.
"The rhythm's in the guitars" is how the Beatles used to excuse the fact that they had no drummer in the early days. And this rather obscure song features some really great syncopated, sophisticated rhythm guitars. It's moody groove which finds John in his blue-eyed soul mode, and more importantly, how can a song with no real chorus be SO DARN GOOD? This one's a real sleeper tune on a sleeper album; it's bookended by such big moments, it never gets it due. But that ends today at #68! Joining us this week is the wonderful Mary Devlin (aka @beatledirt on socials, if you follow Beatles content, you know her). When she's not Beatling, she's a singer/songwriter with a GREAT new single out now (like today!) called "Reduce You" and y'all should all go jump on it because it's a jam. Click here to listen! Stream it here or here or anywhere you stream! We chat about her new song, the origins of Beatle Dirt, songwriting and content creating, and so much more! What do you think about "All I've Got To Do" at #68? Too high? Too low? Let us know in the comments on Facebook…
