Jenny Wren,
By
This review is from: Jenny Wren [Cd2] (Audio CD)
The laid-back Blackbird-style acoustic song Jenny Wren maybe a slightly surprising choice for a single from McCartney’s ‘Chaos and Creation in the Backyard’, but thankfully there are some decent exclusive B-sides to make this a worthwhile purchase for those who already have the album.‘I Want You To Fly’ is a slow dreamy 12-bar blues that builds from a fragile piece into a more stompy rock song, while ‘This Loving Game’ is an enjoyable McCartney ballad. Neither track is really up to the album’s high standards but still a good solid pair of songs.

Warning!,
By Jimmy Wren "TwoScoreFour" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jenny Wren [Cd2] (Audio CD)
Sad to say there's no track 4! The track listing above claims a song called "summer of 59" is on this ep and I wanted to caution anyone expecting to hear it, it's not there! The other songs are a delight to anyone as fond of the Chaos album as was I. So much so that it was still worth it, but don't say nobody warned ya.

McCartney's late career renaissance continues,
By DukesFan01 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jenny Wren [Cd2] (Audio CD)
"Jenny Wren" is one of many standout tracks from McCartney's new album CHAOS AND CREATION IN THE BACKYARD. I'm tired of all the critics screaming that "Jenny Wren" is another "Blackbird." It's a darn good track, but I'd rather see this new single stand on its own credentials, which it is more than capable of doing. The lyrics are great and the instrumentation sparse...typical McCartney traits when he does this style of song. Surely one of the finest songs he has written in the last 20 years, and that's no joke.What's even more impressive, however, are the quality of the McCartney b-sides from this album. "Comfort of Love", the b-side to first single "Fine Line," was a track that was fully realized and surely had to be a candidate for the album's final running order. The two b-sides found on this single, "I Want You To Fly" and "This Loving Game," are great little tracks. The latter song is definitely a b-side but still very enjoyable, but "I Want You To Fly" could have definitely been the album closer if the song "Anyway" wasn't so strong in and of itself. "I Want You To Fly" definitely has a 'Sgt. Pepper'-like feel in its piano and vocal echoes, and the overall take is very atmospheric and airy---presumably influenced by producer Nigel Godrich, known for working with Beck and Radiohead. I really enjoyed this and only purchased this single (and the album's first single) because of my complete satisfaction with the album. I'm glad I have all these ace b-sides to add to my playlist now. Recommended. (Bonus promotional poster included.) 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful:

Another warning,
By L. Robbins "Paul Fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jenny Wren [Cd2] (Audio CD)
I bought this to get song number four, too, and it isn't on it. I would not have purchased this CD if not for the Summer of 59 and it isn't there. Very disappointed Amazon.
