Rocky Raccoon – Kenneth Womack

Send us Fan Mail

Tim is joined by writer, literary critic and music historian Kenneth Womack to dig into Paul McCartney's White album gem, Rocky Raccoon. They explore its roots in Robert Service's poem 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew', its talking blues DNA, and why a song that sounds improvised is actually a masterfully constructed short story.
