Related: About this forumPaul McCartney announces new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. Listen to first single, Days We Left Behind
From Classic Rock magazine:
https://www.loudersound.com/bands-artists/paul-mccartney-announces-new-album-the-boys-of-dungeon-lane
Paul McCartney has announced details of his first solo album in over five years, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, set for release on May 29 via MPL / Capitol.
The album, recorded with Andrew Watt (The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Ozzy Obourne), is billed as the former Beatles' most introspective album to date, is described as "a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared, along with some newly inspired love songs, from one of the most culturally significant figures of our time."
A press statement reads: "With The Boys of Dungeon Lane, Paul McCartney turns the lens inward, revisiting the formative years that shaped not only his life, but the very foundations of modern popular culture. In a career defined by timeless storytelling and unforgettable characters, Paul now tells the most personal story of all, his own.
"These extraordinary new songs find Paul in a candid, vulnerable and deeply reflective mood, writing with rare openness about his childhood in post-war Liverpool, the resilience of his parents, and early adventures shared with George Harrison and John Lennon long before the world had ever heard of Beatlemania. These were the years that historians continue to examine, the quiet, unguarded days that unknowingly laid the groundwork for a cultural revolution. Paul visits them not as myths or folklore but as his own memories."
