New Rock LP - Pressed on Pink Vinyl -'The Boys of Dungeon Lane' is 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. These extraordinary new songs find Paul 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.
It's Paul McCartney's first solo album in five years, and his 21st if you're counting everything, though the numbering is often disputed. The Dungeon Lane of the title is an actual street in Speke, Liverpool, the phrase appeared years ago on the song 'In Liverpool', as the Beatle now leans into full reminiscence mode, recalling long shoreside walks in boyhood. McCartney plays the majority of instruments himself, as he did on his 1970 debut: 'Home To Us' features Ringo Starr singing lead alongside him, their first proper vocal duet across 60-odd years of acquaintance.
