All Mccartney

From a listener's request, we discuss some of the musical highlights from the decade which many believe to have been McCartney's most problematic. On a professional level, Paul McCartney's career reached a difficult point in the 1980s. Possible explanations could be that he was trying too hard to be commercially successful, or that he was trying to hard to remain relevant as he entered into middle-age, or that he was shellshocked by the death of John Lennon. Nevertheless, the 1980s weren't entirely bad, and in this episode we discuss his "hidden" musical gems from that decade, in particular deep album cuts and lesser-known unreleased songs that aren't generally considered amongst the canon of McCartney's compositions. The songs we will discuss include "Footprints," "Distractions," and "Yvonne," among many others. allmccartneypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @allmccartneypod Facebook: AllMcCartneyPodcast www.allmccartneypodcast.com
