Magnificent. You can hear his sense of melody and harmony in his work-such a gifted artist. Makes perfect sense to record this homage to Macca. Discovered him in the late 90s, managing a music store across from a college campus. We did a "Coming Up Roses" promo with the WEA regional office in Cleveland, OH. That album, OWSLEY(on Giant) was one of the best things released in the 90s. Impeccable writing and playing. Had only heard OF Semantics until today. Also, guitar player and producer of much great music. RIP, Will.
Oh wow I had no idea Will had passed. This song was one of my favorite songs growing up as a young child in the early 70's, and Will's version is one of my favorite covers of any song I've ever heard. RIP, Will.

My God, I wish I knew Will while he was with us. Brilliant. Enough said.
There needs to be more Owsley on TH-cam, darnit.
I hope you'll rest in peace, Will... from Japan
@elemsee Agreed. I found his first CD on the floor at a carnival in '99 or 2000, and have loved listening to it ever since! Great songwriting.
