Episode 25 – Driving Rain

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 … let’s go for a drive through Paul McCartney’s 2001 album Driving Rain on our Season 3 finale. Arguably a critical and commercial failure (although possibly not), this episode walks through what some feel is the nadir of Macca’s cannon. Highlights include “From a Lover to a Friend,” “Magic,” Your Way,” and “Your Loving Flame.” Stick around for a few interesting extras. Anyone tries to take it away, they’ll have to answer, ’cause this is my right, we’re talkin’ about Driving Rain.

  1. Great review as per usual of a difficult and somewhat depressing album made by a broken man at the time. Not his greatest work but still worth patience and time. Thanks again for the terrific podcast.
