Paul McCartney has shared a recently unearthed collaboration between him and the late Jeff Beck, recorded about 30 years ago. Titled Why Are They Cutting Down the Rainforest? and released as part of a new series produced by McCartney’s vegetarianism campaign Meat Free Monday, the song features Beck speaking about deforestation and cattle farming over jaunty psych-rock production.
“With the sad passing of Jeff Beck – a good friend of mine, and a great, great guitar player – it reminded me of the time we worked together many years ago on a campaign for vegetarianism,” McCartney wrote in a statement. “It’s great guitar playing, cause it’s Jeff!”
