Paul McCartney Finds Timeless Warmth on The Boys of Dungeon Lane

Rolling Stone hails Paul McCartney’s The Boys of Dungeon Lane as a warmly nostalgic solo album—his first in six years—where he mostly plays all the instruments and crafts an autumnal, life-affirming mood. The songs look back on his Liverpool days and enduring love of making music, from intimate ballads to lively rock, with two Parenthood-themed closing tracks; co-produced by Andrew Watt, the set demonstrates a late‑career vitality that still feels fresh and personal.
