The Beatles did a lot of R&B covers in their earlier years. I thought this one was very strong and sharp, although I understand why people like "Twist and Shout" more. But "Slow Down" and give this one a try. We thought it would be a hit single, but it wasn't. Taken from Something New, along with its lively flip side with Ringo singing, "Matchbox." "Slow Down" follows the traditional R&B chord progression of 1 1 4 1 5 4 1, as do a lot of old rock n roll songs; even Dylan's Rainy Day Women does. This version is by a tribute band. Original is "not allowed" on you tube. It's a good facsimile though. It's a pretty basic song; not too hard to duplicate.
