"Let the Young Girl Do What She Wants To" single (Ian McNabb)

As I mentioned earlier this year, I'm a big fan of Ian McNabb's song"Let the Young Girl Do What She Wants To." While I've yet to find an affordable copy of the album that spawned it, Before All of This, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a copy of the single so I could at least own the awesome a-side. That alone is worth the price of admission, but the b-sides are actually quite good too. The first is a remake of Racing Cars' "They Shoot Horses Don't They?" and it's done quite well. The second is an awesome McNabb original composition entitled "Message from the Country."

Tracks:
1. Let the Young Girl Do What She Wants To
2. They Shoot Horses Don't They?
3. Message from the Country

Song of the Day: "Let the Young Girl Do What She Wants To"

ARTIST: Ian McNabb
TITLE: "Let the Young Girl Do What She Wants To"
YEAR: 2005

Ian McNabb may be best known for his work as a member of Icicle Works, but he has produced some quality solo material. "Let the Young Girl Do What She Wants To" was released as a single to promote his 2005 album Before All of This. I've not heard the album, but this song is amazing. I love it, and it still sounds fresher to me than a lot of the tracks being released three years later. Another song from the "should've been a big hit" department.

I can't find anywhere online streaming the song, but trust me, you want to check it out if you don't know it. It is available for purchase on the album Before All of This or its CD single.
