Paul McCartney Dials Nostalgia Up on The Boys of Dungeon Lane
TL;DR Summary
Paul McCartney returns with The Boys of Dungeon Lane, a 14-track album arriving May 29, that blends affectionate reminiscences of his Liverpool boyhood and present-day happiness with a brisk, Wings-era rock sound. Co-produced by Andrew Watt, the set shifts between gentle memory songs and energetic rock, includes bold twists like a ballroom-swing overlay on Salesman Saint, and features a first-ever duet with Ringo Starr on Home to Us. It’s playful, deeply observant, and arguably McCartney’s strongest work of the 21st century, proving age hasn’t dimmed his knack for catchy, emotionally direct songwriting.
