Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. — Francis Bacon

Paul McCartney

Film/Album Review: “Give My Regards To Broad Street” — Paul McCartney (1984)

The film was a disaster, but the soundtrack album consisting of re-recordings of Beatles and Wings tunes and a few new tracks definitely has its moments.

Album Review: “Pipes Of Peace” — Paul McCartney (1983)

Pipes of Peace was a stepdown from its predecessor, consisting of several leftover tunes and a few new ones. Yet it is still rewarding in parts.

Album Review: “McCartney II” — Paul McCartney (1980)

McCartney gets all the credit in the world for indulging in experimentation and attempting something new, but McCartney II is a bit of a low point for him.

Album Review: “Back To The Egg” — Wings (1979)

The final Wings album (with their fourth lineup) is a well-produced, contemporary rocker that struggled to find acceptance but made for a strong final release.

Album Review: “London Town” — Paul McCartney & Wings (1978)

McCartney was still enamored with an adult contemporary vibe. The album is generally strong but with some filler and a melancholy feel.

Album Review: “Red Rose Speedway” — Paul McCartney & Wings (1973)

Red Rose Speedway is an unfortunately weak record, with a strong one-two opening punch but then spinning its wheels for most of the remaining album.

Album Review: “Wild Life” — Paul McCartney & Wings (1971)

Wings 1971 debut is an EP’s worth of good material at best. A shambling, unfocused album, it still retains a bit of homespun fun, albeit somewhat anemic in content.

Album Review: “McCartney” — Paul McCartney (1970)

Paul McCartney’s 1970 solo debut album is a homespun, eclectic collection of songs that surprised (and somewhat delighted) many with its low-key charms.

Album Review: “Tug Of War” — Paul McCartney (1982)

Tug of War is a career high-point for McCartney. Reuniting with George Martin, Paul produced a strong, assured, confident record throughout.

Album Review: “Wings at the Speed of Sound” — Wings (1976)

It’s safe to say that those who unfairly decry Paul’s solo career as lightweight, unmemorable tripe probably envision his entire career as the Wings at the Speed of Sound album.
