While it might be nice to get a whole album’s worth of that mostly instrumental, acoustic-ambient approach, that’s the last we hear of it. The opening track, “Long Tailed Winter Bird,” is five-plus minutes of aggressive jamming mostly on an acoustic guitar, not unlike what you’d expect from a particularly good Lindsey Buckingham demo, with some percussion occasionally coming in and out to remind you what an effective and underrated kit drummer McCartney has always been. Because when it comes to that, “III” doesn’t really have one - it’s all over the place, and delightfully so, even if he occasionally lands upon a subgenre that you wish he stuck with for more than a song or two. Last month, he was interviewed by Sean Lennon on BBC Radio 2 in celebration of what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday.As probably every fan has heard or figured out by now, “McCartney III” is a sequel to 1970’s “McCartney” and 1980’s “McCartney II” in name, methodology and year-ending-in-zero only, and not so much in style. Last summer, he reissued 1997’s Flaming Pie, released as a massive box set that contained home recordings, studio jams, mixes, outtakes, and more.

And then when it was done, I thought, ‘What will I do next?’ I had some stuff I’d worked on over the years, but sometimes time would run out and it would be left half-finished. “I had to do a little bit of work on some film music and that turned into the opening track. “I was living lockdown life on my farm with my family and I would go to my studio every day,” McCartney said in a statement. He created a new section for the song, giving birth to the opener “Long Tailed Winter Bird.” The process began when he returned to “When Winter Comes,” an unreleased track from the Nineties co-produced by George Martin. He subsequently overdubbed bass and drums. McCartney III was recorded earlier this year in Sussex, England, cut from live takes of the musician on vocals, guitar, and piano.
