This is part of a series of mini-reviews of Paul McCartney’s studio albums, ranked worst to best. (Don’t worry; I’ll keep them short.)
Number Two: Band On The Run, Paul McCartney & Wings.
WHY IT’S GREAT: Paul’s comeback album, recorded as a trio with Linda and Denny. He was pressed in a corner physically and emotionally and responded with greatness. This album dominated 1974.
BEST SONGS: Band On The Run; Jet; Bluebird; Mrs Vandebilt; Picasso’s Last Words (Drink To Me); Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five.
WORST SONGS: There are none.
WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR IT: If you don’t love this album, then forget about Paul McCartney. This is his peak in the Seventies.
