“Cowboy Carter” is the eighth studio album of American singer-songwriter Beyoncé. The album includes a cover version of The Beatles’ song “Blackbird” under the title “Blackbiird.”
The backing track of this cover uses instrumental elements from The Beatles’ original master recording, specifically Paul McCartney’s acoustic guitar and foot tapping. In the credits, Paul is listed as the guitarist and one of the track’s producers.
In 2019, Paul McCartney already gave permission for the use of the original “Blackbird” track by Rachel Fuller, who added new parts by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chamber Choir of London.
I am so happy with Beyoncé’s version of my song ‘Blackbird’. I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place. I think Beyoncé has done a fab version and would urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out. You are going to love it!
I spoke to her on FaceTime and she thanked me for writing it and letting her do it. I told her the pleasure was all mine and I thought she had done a killer version of the song. When I saw the footage on the television in the early 60s of the black girls being turned away from school, I found it shocking and I can’t believe that still in these days there are places where this kind of thing is happening right now. Anything my song and Beyoncé’s fabulous version can do to ease racial tension would be a great thing and makes me very proud.

Thanks for making such a beautiful song that grows even bigger in all our hearts as the years go by.
