Episode 180: A Review of Wings, "Wild Life"

Paul McCartney and Wings's first album Wild Life, released 50 years ago in 1971, was panned on its release for being rushed, for its subpar song quality, and the playing. How does it hold up 50 years later? Were the critics right? Listen in as we dissect the album and give it a rating.

Episode 179: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 21 - "A World Without Love" by Peter and Gordon (written by Paul McCartney)

Let's go into the lab for a Beatles cover, this time the 1964 #1 hit "A World Without Love" by Peter and Gordon. Paul McCartney gave this song to Peter Asher, the brother of his girlfriend at the time, Jane Asher. It has all the classic McCartneyisms, from the lyrics to the music. And of course, John Lennon didn't like the first lyric! 

We dig into the music, lyrics, and Chris finds his usual array of covers. Enjoy!

Here's a snippet of Paul McCartney's demo:

Episode 177: Beatle Friends, Vol. 2 - Hamish Stuart

We return to a series we started (and then forgot about!) last year called Beatle Friends, where we look at people who played a part in group or solo music. In this episode, we look at Hamish Stuart, best known as a member of the Average White Band and for playing with Paul McCartney from ca. 1988-1993. Stuart played on Flowers in the Dirt and Off The Ground, the Unplugged show, and the two big world tours in 1989-90 and 1993. He also played with Ringo's All-Starr Band in 2006, 2008, and 2019. Quite a long and diverse career!

Episode 176: Review of Ringo Starr's new EP, "Zoom In"

In this episode, we analyze Ringo Starr's new five-song EP, Zoom In. Was it a good idea for Ringo to release the first of two EPs, or should he have just released an album? What about the many people playing on each song? How do these songs compare to his recent work?

We answer these questions, and discuss the whole EP in detail!
