Paul McCartney

El relato histórico en primera persona de la mano del propio Paul McCartney de su triunfal reinvención post Beatles en la década de 1970 y el posterior auge de una de las bandas más icónicas de la década.Contado en una reveladora primera persona, este relato inmersivo de Paul McCartney y los Wings es la fascinante historia oral de una banda que llego a definir una generacion. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run narra la asombrosa, casi improbable, historia de Paul McCartney y su recien formada banda desde 1971 hasta su disolucion apenas una decada despues. Basada en mas de horas y horas de entrevistas con McCartney, musicos clave y familiares, Wings relata conmovedoramente, con la sabiduria de medio siglo a sus espaldas, la historia de un hombre y musico que lidio con las consecuencias de la separacion de los Beatles, y al que pronto se unieron su esposa la fotografa estadounidense Linda McCartney en los teclados y la voz, el bateria Denny Seiwell y el guitarrista Denny Laine, entre otros musicos que pasaron por el grupo.Organizada en torno a los nueve albumes de los Wings, la narracion sigue a la aventurera banda mientras sobreviven a un robo en las calles de Nigeria, aparecen sin previo aviso en varias residencias universitarias, realizan giras en un destartalado autobus de dos pisos con sus hijos, todo ello, mientras producen algunos de los temas mas perdurables de la decada. Con 150 fotografias en blanco y negro y un cuadernillo a color, muchas de ellas ineditas, esta es una gran obra emblematica de una originalidad deslumbrante sobre una extraordinaria banda, de la que hay mucho que contar.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARWinner of Non-Fiction Book of the Year, British Book Awards (Nibbies), 2022A self-portrait in 154 songs, by our greatest living songwriter'More often than I can count, I've been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. The one thing I've always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs. I know that some people, when they get to a certain age, like to go to a diary to recall day-to-day events from the past, but I have no such notebooks. What I do have are my songs, hundreds of them, which I've learned serve much the same purpose. And these songs span my entire life.'

Arranged alphabetically to provide a kaleidoscopic rather than chronological account, it establishes definitive texts of the songs' lyrics for the first time and describes the circumstances in which they were written, the people and places that inspired them, and what he thinks of them now. Presented with this is a treasure trove of material from McCartney's personal archive - drafts, letters, photographs - never seen before, which make this also a unique visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.We learn intimately about the man, the creative process, the working out of melodies, the moments of inspiration. The voice and personality of Paul McCartney sings off every page. There has never been a book about a great musician like it.
