McCartney and McCartney II had a lot to do with the context in which they appeared: the former was a purposefully ramshackle response to the studio-sculpted grandeur of the Beatles, the latter a synth-shocked antidote to the arena-rock bombast of Wings. But while they were solitary efforts, those records were still plugged into the sounds and conversations of their times. McCartney was rooted in the agrarian, anti-psych aesthetic of contemporary groups like the Band, while McCartney II showe...

Paul McCartney - McCartney III (Album Review) Wednesday, 23 December 2020 Written by Alex Myles By now we’ve become used to the idea of a lockdown album. But one from Sir Paul McCartney? Well, that is a lovely surprise. McCartney surprised even himself with this album, for ‘McCartney III’ is the third in a trilogy of happy accidents. As with 1970’s ‘McCartney’ and 1980’s ‘McCartney II’, the 78-year-old didn’t set out to create an album in 2020. It just happen...

Third times the charm from old charmer Sir Paul Third times the charm from old charmer Sir Paul Normal text size When he finds himself in times of trouble, Beatle Paul self-isolates. McCartney, his DIY debut, was launched like a solo escape pod as his first band imploded in a fiery ball in 1970. McCartney II whisked him from the wreckage of Wings in 1980, a debacle hastened by his Tokyo prison stint for cannabis possession. Now, with pleasing numerology, McCartney III carries him through the...

Verdict: The Fab One Rating: Paul McCartneys two previous all-solo albums arrived at pivotal moments. The first, 50 years ago, was a rough-and-ready affair made as the Beatles were falling bitterly to pieces. The second, in 1980, came as his next band, Wings, were crumbling. Now we have McCartney III, made in rockdown as Macca was quarantining with family members in Sussex. This was to have been the year he returned in triumph to Glastonbury: instead he found himself writing songs alone on gui...

Paul McCartney is my absolute hero. Does that make me biased when reviewing his latest release? Shit yeah. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be objective. Paul used his time in lockdown, nay, “rockdown”, wisely, recording his third “solo” (i.e. writing, playing and producing) album. Returning to some half-written potential future classics, he gradually built upon them, layer by layer, using some of rock’s most iconic instruments, including (natch) his Hofner bass, the Mellotron keyboa...

Paul McCartney. CREDIT: Sonny McCartney Like 2020 itself, a self-titled Paul McCartney album is as much about liberation as isolation. 1970’s debut solo album ‘McCartney’ was a ramshackle collection of intimate, lo-fi tunes recorded onto four-track, with McCartney delivering everything besides wife Linda’s backing vocals, but it also marked his step away from The Beatles. That album was imbued with the fragility and sadness he’d felt since John Lennon had informed the b...
