The Other Side of Paul McCartney

I’ve been on a big Macca kick the past couple of weeks. More specifically, the period right after The Beatles broke up and McCartney retreated to the family farm, grew a shaggy beard, and started figuring out what to do next. You can feel what must’ve been an enormous sense of freedom pour through some of these songs. The recordings are reckless at times, almost always joyous, and rarely exactly what you’d expect. I love them.

There’s a great series of bootlegs called MoMac’s Hidden Tracks which cull tons of demos, rehearsals and live recordings from the period. Definitely worth tracking down.

This mix is blended as usual, but I tried something a little different this time and separated the tracks after blending. Enjoy!
