The Musical Maverick: Paul McCartney in the 90s [Episode 263]

We’re talking Paul McCartney in this episode. Specifically his music during the decade of the 90s. Author JR Moores has a new book out now titled Off The Ground: Paul McCartney in the 1990s. This was an era like no other for McCartney, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s.

Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see him reemerge with greater energy, momentum, and self-belief. JR Moores’s sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney’s ’90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects, imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers, and a whole lot more besides. Moores reveals how McCartney’s reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and he argues that his output and activities in the ’90s would uncover more about the person behind them than in any other decade.
