The latest release from Paul has a good mix of classic Wings, newer solo stuff (including the Firemen project) and a preponderance of Beatles classics as well as homages to both George and John. The accompanying DVD is excellent. The playing of the band is exemplary especially the playing of Abe Laboriel jr who looks like he's having a blast throughout. The only reservation is that there are no real horns. That was what made "Wings over America" such an excellent live album. Now the horn parts are played by keyboard and unfortunately it's all too obvious. However Macca is in fine vocal form and he further demonstrates why he has to be regarded as one of the best songwriter's ever - even though he has put out his share of turkeys. His best is so far ahead of the rest it's ridiculous. Highly recommended.
