Maybe I'm amazed: Paul's comin' to town

    Indeedy, Paul McCartney is coming to Dickson, Tenn. next month to cut a song with legendary rock band The Crickets.
    Seems The Crickets are doing one of those tributes-to-ourselves albums, and they've got a cool list of folks cutting old Crickets tunes.
    Paul will sing Rave On, Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills and Nash fame will do Think It Over and rocker Vince Neil of Motley Crue will sing I Fought the Law. (Wouldn't that be a better song for Tommy Lee?)
    This robo-cool project also will include Nanci Griffith-longtime Crickets pal-singing Heartbeat, John Prine singing Oh Boy and Rodney Crowell singing That'll Be the Day.  The Mavericks are also expected to contribute a song.
    The project is being recorded at the home studio of Crickets drummer J.J. Allison, who lives on a farm in Dickson.
    The whole thing also is being filmed for a possible documentary later.   No label yet for the project, being called The Crickets: Pickin' Under the Influence.
    Stay tuned.  More later.
