The audiobook of this was like a warm blanket which told me everything I could possibly want to know about Paul & Linda's daily activities from the years 1969-1973. I can't wait for volume 2. ( ) Gotta say, after having read literally hundreds of books about either the Beatles as a group, or the individual members, or peripheral personalities (Epstein, George Martin, Sutcliffe, Best), I'd finally reached the point where I decided, no more. There's nothing new to be learned. Yeah, well, first it was Mark Lewisohn with his utterly incredible Tune In, Part 1 and Tune In, Part 2 (if you're a Beatles fan, don't settle for the single book, get the full 1700+ page story in all its glory), who decided to prove me wrong. And now Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair are doing the same with this monster. Almost 700 pages for four years of McCartney's post-Beatle life? Hell yes, sign me up. The level of detail, and the stories that finally settle some of the myths around McCartney and Wings, and the honesty to which they deal with Linda's contributions, make this a fantastic read. They don't shy away from some of the headscratching decisions Paul made (and continues to make) on things like his Mary Had a Little Lamb and other songs that are simply terrible, but that he seems to love. It's a fair and balanced approach. Overall, despite digging into a virtually day-to-day accounting of Paul and Linda's movements and activities, I was never bored. Loved this book, and eagerly await the next volumes. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this first of a groundbreaking multivolume set, THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY, VOL 1: 1969-73 captures the life of Paul McCartney in the years immediately following the dissolution of the Beatles, a period in which McCartney recreated himself as both a man and a musician. Informed by hundreds of interviews, extensive ground up research, and thousands of never-before-seen documents THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY, VOL 1 is an in depth, revealing exploration of McCartney's creative and personal lives beyond the Beatles. When Paul McCartney issued a press release in April 1970 announcing that the world's most beloved band, the Beatles, had broken up no one could have predicted that McCartney himself would go on to have one of the most successful solo careers in music history. Yet in the years after the Fab Four disbanded, Paul McCartney became a legend in his own right. Now journalist and world-renowned Beatles' historian Allan Kozinn and award-winning documentarian Adrian Sinclair chronicle in technicolor McCartney's pivotal years from 1969 to 1973, as he recreated himself in the immediate aftermath of the Beatles breakup - a period when, newly married and with a growing family, he conquered depression and self-doubt, formed a new band, Wings, and recorded five epochal albums culminating in the triumphant smash, Band on the Run. Part 1 of a multivolume set, THE MCCARTNEY LEGACY, VOL. 1 documents a pivotal moment in the life of a man whose legacy grows increasingly more relevant as his influence on music and pop culture remains as relevant as ever. It is the first truly comprehensive biography, and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartney's creative life beyond the Beatles, ever undertaken.
