Description
From stadium-sized rock to pastoral folk ballads, thirteen of Paul McCartney’s solo and Wings-era favorites are gathered here for piano.
“Band on the Run” kicks things off as a miniature suite, shifting through its distinct sections without losing momentum. “Live and Let Die” lives up to its reputation for contrast, its quiet ballad opening giving way to explosive, hammered chords. “Maybe I’m Amazed” needs little adjustment, since its famous piano part was always the song’s backbone.
“Uncle Albert - Admiral Halsey” stitches its whimsical fragments into a patchwork of shifting moods and tempos. “Mull of Kintyre” trades its bagpipes for a lilting, folk-song simplicity, while “Ebony and Ivory” feels especially apt on the very instrument its title celebrates.
Across two decades of post-Beatles hits, McCartney’s ear for a melody shows in every bar.
