The Art of McCartney: Paul McCartney inspires that and more
The Art of McCartney is a tribute album to musician Paul McCartney and was released on November 18, 2014. The 42-song set, which covers McCartney's solo work and work with the Beatles features as wide range of artists such as Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan, Alice Cooper, Smokey Robinson, The Cure and Kiss. According to producer Ralph Sall, the project has been in the works for over 11 years.
It makes sense that Paul McCartney would inspire one of the most impressive tribute-album lineups ever assembled. This 42-song blowout has everything from Willie Nelson doing a raggedly loving "Yesterday" to Billy Joel crushing "Maybe I’m Amazed." There are plenty of surprises, too.
“A celebration of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century and possibly the largest selling composer of all time. Sir Paul McCartney has written many of the world’s best-known songs, and this project features some of the biggest stars in the music industry, performing his, Wings’ and The Beatles’ greatest tracks alongside McCartney’s own backing musicians”.
