First off, let me say that I love "O" - it's one of my favorite albums, actually. That said...
What in the HELL was he thinking when he upped the the tempo and added drums and bass for the Cannonball single!? Seriously!! It almost completely kills the mood of the song and makes it sound like just another ho-hum pop song. The album version is soooo much better I don't know how they could have settled on this version for the single.
Actually I probably do - the record label execs probably said "Hey, this song is nice, but we all think it'd be just super if it was a little faster and had some drums." Friggin execs.
Aaanywho...
