It's been 10 years in the making, but Paul McCartney and Youth have finally released the third installment of The Fireman series.

in
By Nicole Kai (CHARTattack) June 19, 2007 7:43 pm

For Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, Paul McCartney revisits the one-man band-ism of his solo debut record in 1970. Tellingly, there's definitely a stark loneliness here. The songs meander atmospherically, often built around piano that's fleshed with bells and random tinkles that don't so much invite as they do lull the listener. Macca's...

The basic rules for all benefit concert CDs apply here. That is to say that there's the requisite mix of established music legends, rock heroes and pop stars, they're all playing their hits and their stage banter and audience applause makes you feel all warm and tingly inside. The only problem is — like with the majority of benefits — there's...

Here's further evidence that our friends south of the border now have a way cooler leader than us. Sure, we used to mock Dubya all the time and most Canadians weren't really onside with 99.9 per cent of the things his administration did, but those days are over. These days, Barack Obama's in power south of the border, and he's holding...

I don't question the entertainment value of this 33-song collection recorded over three nights earlier this year to open New York City's lovely Citi Field. I just wonder if there's a need for it since the original Beatles and Wings recordings were so good and the live Wings Over America, Tripping The Live Fantastic, Paul Is Live and Back In The U...
