Who's Ready for McCartney III ???
McCartney III is coming out in December! 40 years since McCartney II...
I hope it's better than Egypt Station.

Funny how I always thought he was more prolific than that.

I remember buying 'McCartney' when it came out back in 1970.
I was still mourning the break up of the Beatles and interested to hear if Paul alone could fill that gap. Not quite. There were songs on there that definitely could have made it as Beatles tracks ... and some that couldn't. His early versions of 'Junk' and 'Teddy Boy' are on The Beatles Anthology 3.

Was always a big Beatles fan and then some of McCartney's music after that. But his later music has been a diminishing interest for me. I'm sure I'll give it a listen but probably not in a rush to do so.

McCartney 3 is almost here! I really hope it's good. His recent music has been disappointing for me.

Very much looking forward to it. I always seemed to gravitate to John's songs, but Paul's greatness is ad infinitum. I think "Maybe I'm Amazed" is his best vocal as a solo. He really nails it.

Great review of this album in the Wall Street Journal in their Life and Arts section yesterday. Reviewer opined it was McCartney’s best solo album.

Just heard the full album... I'm very disappointed! If anyone else here has heard it, what are your thoughts?

I'm 67 and was a huge Beatles fan, and it's always been apparent to me that Lennon-McCartney was truly the best example I can think of as the sum far exceeding the parts. After the break up there was little that held my interest. George Harrison displayed far more creative output, and even Ringo is a musical tour de force in the world. PM gets a lot of press, though. That's most likely the result of being half of the juggernaut that they were as a songwriting team. He just did an interview on CBS Sunday Morning to promote the album's release. |

I'm liking the acoustic based tracks, thus far my favorite tracks are, Long Tailed Winter Bird (though it's a bit too long), Find My Way, Pretty Boys, Kiss of Venus, Seize the Day and Winter Bird. I am grateful that Paul is still around and still creating new music. |

It's on Amazon Prime without additional cost so I gave it a spin. I never listened to any of his stuff without other Beatles intentionally, and must say that I quite like it. He plays all instruments and there are many nice acoustic guitar parts. The last song is great sounds like some of his Beatles ballads and I hope I will have a chance to learn playing and singing it.

It's a 'buy-it-because-he-was-great' album that I'd play through once and never listen to again.
Sorry guys but I've already got a few of those from other great artists of the past ... like Joe Walsh.
