Music reviews of Wingspan (Hits & History)
Music Review: solid compilation
Rating: 5 Stars
This collection of Wings/Paul McCartney tracks gives the listener a thorough overview of McCartney's post-Beatles material from 1970-84, and with 40 songs, gives you a lot of bang for the buck. The theme of 'Hits and History' works very well also, with one disc concentrating mostly on singles and the second one on album tracks. The only issue I have with the 'History' disc is that it failed to include unreleased McCartney & Wings gems like Cage and Waterspout-- which would have been much better choices than Bip Bop/Hey Diddle and the playout version of No More Lonely Nights. Nevertheless, this is a disc that will satisfy the casual listener as well as those like myself, who have followed Paul's post-Beatles career from the beginning. The colorful booklet includes liner notes and some nice pictures of the various Wings line-ups.
Description of Wingspan (Hits & History)
While his fellow ex-bandmates busied themselves with various high-profile projects (John Lennon with Imagine and a series of high-profile media events; George Harrison with All Things Must Pass and The Concert for Bangla Desh), Paul McCartney climbed into a van with his wife and a few journeyman players and gigged at university student unions for what amounted to spare change. Of course, by 1976 they were one of the biggest draws in rock, having the last laugh--if not necessarily the final word. Gathering the cream of their recorded output on a generous double-disc sampler-cum-TV-special-soundtrack seemed a promising effort at historical revisionism, but Wingspan itself is a distinct misnomer: fully 17 of the 40 tracks here hail from various pre- and post-Wings McCartney solo albums. Completely overlooked are unheralded B-sides such as "Oh Woman, Oh Why," "Little Woman Love," "Country Dreamer," "The Mess," "Walking in the Park with Eloise," "Sally G," and "Girl's School"--some of McCartney the bandleader and solo artist's scrappiest and most interesting work. All the expected hits are here and more, ranging from spunky rockers and hook-rich bubblegum to syrup-drenched ballads. What's lacking is a fresh and less myopic perspective. --Jerry McCulleyAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
