BONUS02 Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run (w/ Jake Foster)

[GROUP PICK] Paul McCartney is one of those figures in music that has a long legacy and countless connections to other prominent musicians through the decades. Being caught up in the British invasion and Beatlemania, he was one of the first musicians to earn worldwide celebrity (along with his other lads from Liverpool) that was immediate and truly fanatical. He rode this wave of popularity right on through The Beatles' almost two decades of nonstop hits, but eventually the ride came to a halt. For Paul (as well as John and Ringo), the legacy of The Beatles became a sort of albatross around his neck. His first several solo albums, although topping the charts upon release, were not getting great reviews by the music critics of the time. With the formation of Wings, which included the addition of Denny Laine from The Moody Blues, they continued to face criticism, some about his inclusion of his wife, Linda, in the band, and some bashing Paul's post-Beatles songwriting abilities, but that all changed when Paul re-united with Beatles' producer/arranger George Martin in 1972 for the big and brash “Live and Let Die” for the James Bond film of the same name. It kind of brought back some of that Beatles style that the critics were aching for and got Paul in the headspace for him, Linda, and Laine to create Wings first truly beloved and critically appreciated album, Band on the Run. It harkens back to some of the greatest moments in The Beatles' discography, as well as establishing his new sound moving forward. This album earned Paul back his respect in the eyes of critics and ensured that he would continue to be a force in the music industry, and it doesn't disappoint... This episode Brad, Jon, and Dave are joined by a very special guest, Jake "the Snake on the Lake" Foster from 91.7 WSUM's long running radio show "Under the Covers." Check it out in the link below!
