Chaos & Creation in the Backyard

Paul McCartney has a new album coming out...

"Chaos and Creation in the Back Yard" is Paul's 20th studio recording since The Beatles. It also marks a four-year hiatus since his last studio album, "Driving Rain."

The new album, for all you alternative-music types out there was produced by Nigel Godrich, who has produced some of the largest albums in the last few years by such singers/groups as Radiohead and Beck.

The albums release coincides with the kick-off of his latest tour.

Which I will not be going to this time around. I have seen McCartney in concert 4 times before (Indianapolis' Market Square Arena, Chicago's Soldier Field, St Louis' Busch Stadium, and Chicago's United Center) Each time I have seen him has been with my (older) brother Al. Unfortunately, I will be missing it this time. My brother will be going to see the concert in Detroit though...

With his girlfriend...

And not me...

But, with his girlfriend...

But hey, I'm not bitter...no sirree...

Anyway, check out Paul's official website at www.paulmccartney.com and you can listen to 3 songs from his upcoming Chaos and Creation in the Backyard CD.

All three songs on the site are great and fans and non-fans will definitely notice he has got his stroke back.

The albums release is Monday, September 12, 2005. I plan on buying it that day (or at the latest on Tuesday) and will post a a review in the days after.

So go on, click the link and take a listen. You'll be glad you did.
