This is a deeply personal album to McCartney, but one he chose to share with us, and we are the better for it. Once again, Sir Paul McCartney raises the bar

Far Out
On one hand, The Boys of Dungeon Lane is a good but not great collection of songs, but on the other, also perhaps the best album ever recorded by an 83-year-old?

Music is a drug, so they say. The Beatle/living legend is in his ninth decade, but on his 20th solo album he shows no sign of giving it up

Some songs, like "Ripples In A Pond" (A pop song for his wife Nancy), hit with the contemporary Andrew Wyatt wallop, which is very much why musicians in their ninth decades so revere his production; but as ever, it's the bits where McCartnet lets appearances be damned that work out best.
