Rediscover Wings
5 stars
I had forgotten how good Wings were. I liked them when I was a kid but in a kid way. Reading this book made me rediscover their work, and reminded me of McCartney's genius. I also did not realize how big Wing got through the 1970s, until it pretty much crashed around the time McCartney got busted in Japan. After that, it was pretty much over for Wings and McCartney continued to work solo. Again, listening again to their records, though, the amount of freedom to explore is both a blessing and a curse as some pieces are great and others not so much. However, the diversity in sounds, the integration of the emerging genres and tech made the body of work very interesting. Reading this book will lead you to the inevitable conclusion that Wings is due to be rediscovered.
