Description

Peter and Kenyon dive into "Bad to Me," a song written by John Lennon in 1963 and gifted to Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas. They explore the track's origins, detailing Lennon’s songwriting process, including the rumored inspirations behind its lyrics and the distinct Buddy Holly influence. The discussion extends to the recording history, contrasting the Beatles' original demo with Billy J. Kramer with the Dakotas' produced version, and assessing how George Martin's production style shaped the final sound. Peter and Kenyon also touch on the broader context of the era, from the Beatles' relentless touring schedule to Lennon's evolving role within the band. This episode offers an engaging exploration of how a lesser-known Lennon-McCartney composition fits into the Beatles' musical evolution and provides insights into their collaborative relationships with other artists during their early years.
