McCartney III

• Track Listing

Sir Paul turned lockdown into "rockdown" with "McCartney III," one of the greatest pieces of music to come out of 2020, as Paul surprised us with that late December release a week before Christmas. Paul hadn’t planned to record an album this past year, but with all the time away from the stage, he found himself fleshing out recent ideas and creating new ones, too. He recorded himself live on vocals with piano or guitar, then overdubbed bass, drums, Mellotron and more, using much of the same gear he’s been using in the studio since ’71. Available now on CD (with booklet) or 180-gram gatefold vinyl (with printed inner sleeve), "McCartney III" takes us on a very personal ride with Paul, with the tones and moods of the songs taking us from soul-searching to roof-raising, from wistful to wild. "Long Tailed Winter Bird," "Pretty Boys," "Lavatory Lil," "Deep Deep Feeling," "The Kiss of Venus," "Deep Down" and more Macca circa 2020! Capitol.
