This is quite possibly the best solo album McCartney has ever done. It’s hard for me to give a fair accounting of why I like this one so much, because I’m biased toward any album which heavily features ELO maestro Jeff Lynne. Lynne co-produces, plays and sings on several tracks, and his sonic signature is apparent – and perfectly suited to songs written by McCartney, whose Beatles songs once inspired Lynne. Among the best tracks on the album are “Heaven On A Sunday”, which is a perfect combination of McCartney’s and Lynne’s strengths as well as featuring a guitar passage by James McCartney, Paul’s 19-year-old son; “The World Tonight”, “Beautiful Night” featuring Ringo Starr, “If You Wanna” featuring Steve Miller 
(and it sounds like a Steve Miller tune), and the title track. The whole album is good, my list above merely highlights. Very highly recommended – Paul has finally gotten the rock ‘n’ roll part of his repertoire right without weighing it down with rampant lyrical cuteness. We already knew he’d mastered the ballad, so this new development is more than welcome.
