James McCartney, son of Paul McCartney, has released a fresh take on Joni Mitchell’s classic song, “The Circle Game.” His version, available on streaming platforms and YouTube, adds a breezy, country-rock vibe to the folk favorite.
Leading up to the release, James shared his love for the song on social media, saying it beautifully captures the journey from childhood to adulthood. He also highlighted one of his favorite lyrics: “Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now… Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down.”
Fans praised his heartfelt rendition, calling it “beautiful” and “uplifting.”
Originally written in 1966, “The Circle Game” appeared on Joni Mitchell’s 1970 album Ladies of the Canyon and has been covered by many artists.
This marks James’ fourth single this year, following “Beautiful,” “Primrose Hill,” and “Nothing.” His song “Primrose Hill” gained attention for being co-written with Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon. James continues to honor his roots while carving his own path in music.
