What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

PAUL McCARTNEY "Egypt Station"  cd,  2018:

release date: September 7th:

Chart Highs:  UK #3,  US #1,  AU  #4,  CAN  #3

Macca's thirty seventh studio set including collaborations and classic works Post-Beatle....
was very apprehensive about this one because his last three did nothing for me at all...
this one gets back to what he does best...straightforward soft rock/pop...
has the usual suspects on here, piano ballads, acoustic ballads, love songs, soft rock, pop,
an anthem or two, one with a Latino feel (back in Brazil), and Anti-Trump rant (despite repeated warnings),
and hey, it seems everyone is recording Anti-Trump songs nowadays so why not Macca if he sees fit also!...
he is also changing the tempo of his songs once again, something he mastered back in the day and just about
every artist has also done since the Beatles...
so lots of catchy tunes on here, even one with a tongue-in-cheek play on words "fuh you" which is really "for you"
but its the way he sings it, and it created a music media frenzy thinking he was really singing an F-Bomb,
Macca drums up free publicity and the music world is in overdrive...LOL!
anyway, all up a pretty decent album for a guy into his sixth decade in the biz...
