Paul McCartney proves ageless melodies with a nostalgia-soaked return in The Boys of Dungeon Lane

Paul McCartney’s 27th studio album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, leans into nostalgia rather than a grand concept, revisiting his Liverpool youth and pre-Fab years with tracks like Mountain Top, Momma Gets By, Down South, and a Ringo Starr duet, Home to Us. While some songs don’t fully land, the collection showcases McCartney’s enduring melodic craft and a purposeful, emotionally resonant tone suitable to an octogenarian poet of pop, with the first single Days We Left Behind premiering on BBC Radio Merseyside before the May 29 release.

Paul McCartney Dials Nostalgia Up on The Boys of Dungeon Lane

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.

McCartney Joins Colbert for Finale: A Grand Farewell to The Late Show

Paul McCartney joined Stephen Colbert for CBS’s The Late Show finale, sharing memories and performing Hello, Goodbye as a slew of cameos—including Bryan Cranston, Ryan Reynolds and Jon Stewart—helped close out Colbert’s 11-year run. The network cited economic reasons for ending the show, and the broadcast leaned into surreal, celebratory moments—from a faux Pope cameo to a snow-globe theater gag—as Colbert bid farewell to late-night TV.

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.

Colbert’s Quiet Farewell Dig: Trump, Beatles, and a Shire Send-off

Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show episode included a subtle dig at Donald Trump (he never named him) during a Paul McCartney interview about the Beatles’ Ed Sullivan Theater debut, with Colbert quipping about makeup and the era’s orange glow, and closing with a playful nod to Tolkien’s Shire. The night also featured Trump’s Truth Social rant praising Colbert’s end and anti-Trump protests outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, all set against CBS’s earlier characterization of its cancellation as a financial decision.

Colbert’s Normal Final Show Goes Cosmic: McCartney, Wormholes and a Pope Who Cancelled

Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show aired as a deliberately “normal” broadcast that still unfolded like a surreal farewell: Paul McCartney topped the guest list after a pope-cancellation gag, a Neil deGrasse Tyson cameo revealed an interdimensional wormhole swallowing the set, and a wave of audience cameos culminated in a Beatles performance. CBS’s earlier cancellation for financial reasons loomed over the night, but Colbert used the moment to thank his staff and audience, reflect on the joy of making the show, and tease future projects (potentially including Tolkien work) as he looks to what comes next after a move to D.C. for his brother’s wedding and an Emmy win for best talk show.
