PAUL McCARTNEY "mccartney III" cd, 2020.
the third in a series of Macca albums where he does it all himself...
no prizes for guessing the previous two titles in the series...
and like those two albums they werent intention albums, moreso Macca fiddling around in the studio to follow his muse...
mostly experimental/un-mccartney sounding tracks here with a couple that are typical of his style...
several rock tracks, well rock, as in about as much as anyone approaching 80 could rock anyway...
those ones have cool riffs ..
several slower tracks also, but not what i would say are typical of his style neither...
final track, "when winter comes" is a cool pastoral sounding song about life on the farm and chores that need doing, so McCartney IMO, whom Denny Laine always said "paul is a farmer who happens to write decent tunes"...
that one along with three others are the outstanding ones for me, the opening track, "long tailed winter bird" which is a 5 minute almost instrumental guitar riff, "deep deep feeling" which has a jazz feel in his delivery but ebbs and swirls for eight plus minutes and "deep down",a slow almost house-groove with repeatative lyrics and wouldnt feel out of place on the Fireman albums...
elsewhere we have "slidin", a guitar drenched experimental track full of reverb which takes some getting used to...
"lavatory lil", hey, another Lil for MH hahaha...
the two tracks i dont like are really cringeworthy tracks, i cant even bare to listen to those two...
better than his last few for me by a long way, he aint gonna win new fans, but might just reignite the spark in lifelong fans like me.
going to link the tracks here like the old posts and rate accordingly...
