Shortly after Paul McCartney finished the debut performance of a new original called Cut Me Some Slack with former Nirvana members Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear at Wednesday’s 12-12-12 benefit, a website called CutMeSomeSlack.net went live. Included within the site was word that the quartet had recorded a studio version of the tune for an album inspired by Grohl’s Sound City Movie. Today, the studio version of Cut Me Some Slack has surfaced.
Cut Me Some Slack is one of 11 songs on Sound City – Real to Reel, an album that also includes contributions from Trent Reznor, Stevie Nicks, Josh Homme, Rick Springfield and more. The album is due out on March 12 though the pre-sale went live on iTunes yesterday.
Take a listen to the studio version of Cut Me Some Slack…

We’ll see if Macca and the Nirvana gents perform the tune tonight on SNL.

According to the Rock and Roll Detective, the album track was produced by Butch Vig (which makes a lot of sense,obviously).
The song is awesome!! Kind of strange to see Paul in that kind of song but also great to see him in that kind of song. Two of my favorite performers of all time. I couldn’t imagine the two together. Wow!!!!!!
Kevin-Haven’t you heard “Helter Skelter” and “Oh Darling”? That’s Paul! Amazing that he still rocks so awesomly at 70!
