Trivia / McCartney

Go To

  • Creator Breakdown: The album was recorded and released as Paul McCartney was going through a very depressive episode following the breakup of The Beatles. Much of the album reflects this with Paul messing around with home studio equipment and fragmentary songs, trying to find his own voice as a solo artist.
  • Dueling Works: It's often compared with John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, John's first solo outing following the Beatles' breakup. Both albums feature a stripped-down DIY aesthetic and emotional vulnerability as the artists try to find their own identity. All Things Must Pass is often compared as well, also released in 1970 and a tour-de-force for George Harrison.
