Paul McCartney

Driving Rain

Very Rare original UK Double LP  released on EMI Records in 2001. 1st press complete with inner sleeves.

For Paul McCartney, Driving Rain  completes the trilogy he began with Flaming Pie, in retrospect a warm tribute to  his dying wife, and continued through the storming rock & roll of Run Devil Run.  The first found Macca writing some of his most affecting songs while he returned  to his musical standbys -- charming folk, layered pop, and amiable rock & roll.  Then, with Run Devil Run, he retreated even further, finding his love for  piledriving, uncompromising rock & roll. With those two extremes, he covered the  bases with everything except one important thing -- he had yet to reclaim his  art pop inclinations, something he does so subtly on Driving Rain. In a sense,  it's a nice blend of the self-conscious Flowers in the Dirt and the organic,  natural Flaming Pie, combining the craft of the former with the attitude of the  latter. As such, it sounds fresh, particularly because McCartney has teamed up  with young producers and backing bands that don't just allow him to follow his  muse, they're eager to chase him when he extends a song to an abnormal length  with a jam. This is not the homemade charm of Ram, nor the post-Abbey Road  studio trickery of Red Rose Speedway or Band on the Run, but instead a seasoned  professional finding a way to fuse his various influences in a record that is as  proud of its melody as it is of its elasticity. As such, it's more  self-conscious than its immediate predecessor and it's a little indulgent, but  in a good way. When McCartney decides to indulge himself here, it's not with  whimsy but with sheer musical muscle. As the record draws to a conclusion, he  hauls out a bunch of inventive, winding jams that may be a little excessive, yet  they're exciting because he hasn't tried something like this in years. He's  grooving on making music again, just like he did on Flaming Pie and Run Devil  Run. Driving Rain may not be as coherent as Pie, nor as relentless as Devil, but  it's rich, layered, ambitious, and successful. Since becoming a solo artist,  Paul McCartney has never delivered three records in a row so overstuffed with  imagination, melody, and enthusiasm as he has in these three albums. Let's hope  he can keep the streak going next time around.
