Paul McCartney
I can hardly wait for the next Macca solo pop album. He certainly has a lot of heartache to draw on this time. It seems like whenever Paul is having a bad time, he spits out a great album. The Beatles are breaking up? "Abbey Road". 2/5 of Wings quits just as they are to leave for Africa to record? "Band on The Run". His old pal John is killed? "Tug of War".
I was expecting something great after Linda died, but by the time he put out an album of original tunes, he had already remarried. I guess it would be bad form to pine away for your dead wife when you have a new wife. Anyway, now is the time to let it all out Paul! His last album, "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" was great. His new producer, Nigel Godrich, seems to be able to get great stuff out of him. Hopefully Nigel will be back. I think it's his best album since "Venus and Mars" in 1975.
Clip one is from "Chaos", a promo for the single "Fine Line".
Clip two, also from "Chaos" is the very beautiful "Jenny Wren".
Clip three is an interesting Wings in-studio performance of "Maybe I'm Amazed" circa 1974. This was recorded by a short lived version of the band that recorded "Junior's Farm" and included Paul, Linda, Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and Geoff Britton. Britton would leave shortly to be replaced by Joe English. This version would remain together until 1977-1978 when Jimmy and Joe would leave during the recording of "London Town".
