Listen to Night Panther rework The Beatles’ “I Wanna Be Your Man” into a sleek disco-funk groove
Beatles Reimagined is a great new compilation out today via Community Music Group, and it features imaginative reworkings of Fab Four classicas, from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros doing their jangly Godspell thing with “I Saw Her Standing There” (listen to that one here via Rolling Stone), to a delicate folk take on “All My Loving” by The Well Pennies, to Philadelphia’s own Night Panther turning “I Wanna Be Your Man.” By setting the chords and lyrics to sleek beats and disco-funk instrumentation, the Panther crew not only show off their own skill as interpreters, but also the versatility of the Beatles songwriting. These are bones of songs that can sound like just about anything, as the comp demonstrates. Get more information and order your copy of Beatles Reimagined here.
