Free Music Notes for Wingspan (Hits & History) Album
Free Music Review: brilliant retrospective
Hit: 5 Stars
It's all too easy to oversimplify what McCartney has meant to the history of rock n roll and to every generation reared on it. My personal introduction to the world of rock, as was many other people's, was through the Beatles. I was 10 years old in 1980 when I heard the haunting cello drones of "Eleanor Rigby" for the first time. I have yet to get that tune out of my brain. It changed my life forever.McCartney's brilliance, of course, goes well beyone what he did with the Beatles, as this 2 cd retrospective clearly shows. His solo material, including the enormously successful Wings period, showcases a man with extraordinary talents. While in many ways I prefer the songs of George Harrison, McCartney's writing hits upon a universal chord- the love songs may indeed be silly, but they are uplifting, feel good vignettes of colossal beauty.
"Wingspan" covers the whole creative gamut that McCartney traverses so well. You have the tasteful love-laden numbers like "My Love," "Silly Love Songs," "With A Little Luck," "Coming Up," and "No More Lonely Nights," to name a few. You also have the silly kitsch of an "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey," or "Let Em In." Most importantly, you have Paul the ROCKER, taking on all-comers with "Jet," "Junior's Farm," "Helen Wheels," and "Live And Let Die," to select a few. Paul proves again and again that he could do it all...
...and then there's "Maybe I'm Amazed." How many love songs out there offer the complete sincerity of the love that he had for the late Linda, and did so with a groove that rocked as hard as this track did? For my money, "Maybe I'm Amazed" is as good a love song as was ever made. The longing, the passion, the pure, raw emotion that Paul conveys on the track still gives me shivers when I hear it. It will be my wedding song should I ever get married.
"Wingspan" covers paul's solo/Wings career wonderfully, with many of Wings' greatest moments (if all not as known as they should be) well documented. If McCartney's greatness is even remotely in question, it won't be after hearing this 2 cd set. A wonderful primer into the musical Eden that is Paul McCartney's legacy, this cd set is sure to please. We are all blessed by his presence. Hear why.
