Eclectically Challenged

Anyone who heard Benjamin Francis Leftwich‘s recent live lounge will know that when he understands that a cover of a song works best when it’s a unique interpretation and he has yet again demonstrated this by producing a version of The Beatles’ Ticket To Ride. Let’s be honest, doing justice to a Beatles classic is a lot more difficult than David Guetta’s Titanium, especially when they are murdered all too often (usually by X Factor contestants), but luckily BFL has succeeded where so many others have failed. If you find yourself already as a fan you will be unsurprised to hear that the defining hook for this song is Leftwich’s silky smooth, lullaby vocals which ensure that every single one of McCartney & Lennon’s lyrics retain their magic. And the best thing of all about this track is it’s completely free.
