Various Artists - Bill McClintock Mash-Ups, Volume 3: 2019-2021

Here's the third volume of mash-ups by the twisted mind of Bill McClintock. There's one more to go after this.

If you don't know who McClintock is, or what this is about, I suggest you check out the comments from the first volume in this series. But, in short, this isn't music played or sung by him. Instead, he makes mash-ups by combining two or sometimes three songs together by famous artists. He's the best mash-up creator I've come across, by far, at least so far. He has a particular penchant for mashing together hard rock or heavy metal songs with pop or soul music to create what sometimes sounds like a brand new genre, which has been called "soul metal" or "disco metal." You really should give it a listen. If nothing else, it's very unusual and interesting.

As with the other volumes in this series, the naming of the songs and the artists is a bit complicated. First comes to combined name of the mash-up, then the names of the songs that were mashed together in brackets. Then the names of the artists for each of the original songs. The mash-up names were made by McClintock, although I occasionally made some tweaks.

This album is an hour and three minutes long.

As with the two previous volumes, the cover uses a logo from Bill McClintock's YouTube page, plus a photo of him I added in the middle of it. I used a different background color to help differentiate it from the previous volume.
