Paul Mccartney’s Jukebox

By far the finest musician within the Beatles, Paul McCartney also had the most eclectic taste in music. Understandably and rightly so, he loved Rock & Roll and its early British counterpart Skiffle – the music of his youth – just as much as the others. But McCartney also had a huge knowledge and passion for the songs of the great American composers from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s and delighted too in RnB, Country, Jazz, Classical plus the compositions of Brian Wilson, the poetry of the Beat Generation, and in time, the then emerging avant-garde, which his song-writing partner was still insisting was ‘French for bullsh*t’. This compilation brings together the songs and records that Paul McCartney has been inspired by most through his quite incredible life and career. Taking in many of the genres and styles he has enjoyed the most, this compilation offers a fascinating glimpse into what has rotated on Paul’s record decks, CD players and quite possibly moved through his internet connection as well.
