Liberty Paul McCartney - Paul Live In London
Sir Paul's live performances are actually improving as he gets older, which makes <I>Paul is Live</I>--a document from his tours of the early 1990s--arguably better than his 70s dates, but not up to the level of his triumphant new millennium concerts. However, this <I>is</I> a Beatle we're talking about, and how bad can it be to hear immortals such as Drive My Car, We Can Work it Out and Here, There and Everywhere sung by one of their creators? The problem is the newer stuff. Credit to McCartney and band (including then-wife Linda, guitarist Robbie MacIntosh, and guitarist-singer Hamish Stuart from the Average White Band) for refusing to merely wallow in nostalgia. But tunes such as Biker Like an Icon and Peace in the Neighbourhood are no great shakes any time; placed side by side with Hey Jude and Yesterday, they fare even less well. <I>--Sam Graham</I>

Pubs Overstock Paul McCartney: Paintings
Tony Bennett, David Byrne, and occasionally David Bowie all do it--they make art. With the introduction of <I>Paul McCartney: Paintings</I> we can now add the famous Beatle to the list. The book is a catalogue of paintings from McCartney's 1999 exhibition in Germany. Music and art have many things in common; for McCartney it is the freedom to play which connects both endeavours. Fittingly, his paintings draw most of their influence from abstract expressionism where the material quality of the paint itself inspires the drips, blobs and splatters. His paintings range from cartoon-like figures and faces to open landscapes. The colours are dynamic with varying thicknesses of paint, some with marks scratched into the surface, all with stories and symbolic value. From the illustrations and accompanying essays, to the very candid interview, we are given remarkable insight into McCartney's practice as a committed creative person. He confides his insecurities as a painter who has never gone to art school, and his defining moments as an artist both musically and visually. Within the interview is an unusually generous section where McCartney discusses individually many of the paintings in the book. It's a behind-the-scenes look as he elaborates on the personal meanings behind certain symbols, tells stories and anecdotes and acknowledges his painterly influences, specifically Willem de Kooning. Also included are personal photographs of the artist at work, 117 colour illustrations, and 17 duotone photographs. --<I>J.P. Cohen</I>

Vintage Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now
As the first full account of the Beatle years by a Beatle, <I>Many Years from Now</I> is unique. This is J.Paul McCartney's story--as told to Miles--of life right at the epicentre of the 60s hurricane. Covering the glory years, the 600-odd pages offer a first-hand, insider's account of the most influential and widely-imitated band of all time, making this a fascinating fly-on-the-wall chronicle.<p> Miles is good at putting McCartney's memoirs into context, but it's the material from the horse's mouth which is really revealing. We learn how the teenage Macca fantasised about a future as a Catholic lorry driver. Very simple life, a firm faith and a place to go in my nice lorry; and of his realisation that National Service, had it continued for just a few more weeks, would have left the Beatles stillborn: Ringo and John being the oldest would have had to go, followed shortly by me and then a year later by George, and that would have split any chance of being a group.<p> But perhaps most rewarding of all are the stories behind the music forged by the Lennon & McCartney partnership, including Paul's memories of driving down to see John at his Weybridge mansion, where together they would fashion the songs that will be sung for all time. --<I>Patrick Humphries</I>
