リンク先の記事は最後部分で御大の新作が触れられてる。
過去2作品の路線上、存外見過ごされがちだけど御大らしいという意味には実験性も含意されてて、そう、この3にも相変わらずの御大らしい技巧が鏤められていると、全体的には好意的な論調。ただし、らしい実験性を取ってるということは物議を醸す要素が有るって事かしら？
過去の2作も発表当時は物議を醸した模様。
この伝統も引き継いでるようで、ファンは覚悟がいるかも(^^;
あと個人的に思うのは
老化で声がしわがれてしまったから、
時間が過ぎれば評価されるタイプの名盤になる予感。今のファンはしわがれ声に未だ慣れてなくて
諦め悪い状態だから。
時間が過ぎれば失われた声も諦めて、
冷静に評価出来るスタンダードが詰まってるんじゃ無いかなって思ってる。
How Macca rocked out
Made spontaneously in 'rockdown', Paul McCartney's third all-solo album reiterates his often-overlooked experimental streak and his enduring knack of coming up with memorable tunes.
If its two predecessors — out in 1970 and 1980 — had their moments in Maybe I'm Amazed and Coming Up, song-powered sequel McCartney III, out two weeks today, features at least three tracks with the potential to become standards.
Find My Way is a Wings-like rocker that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Band On The Run. Seize The Day is more complex but contains a killer chorus.
And the bucolic Winter Bird — When Winter Comes finds McCartney in Mull Of Kintyre mode as he contemplates rural life.
Elsewhere, there's the baroque piano number Women And Wives, the whimsical blues of The Kiss Of Venus, and the intriguing Pretty Boys — all Dear Prudence-like guitars and (possibly) Beatles-referencing lyrics about a bunch of lads who are 'gonna set your world on fire'.
The album takes a different turn on Deep Deep Feeling, a centrepiece that begins as a soulful, late-night ballad and unfurls, over eight shape-shifting minutes, into a jazzy fever-dream.
Isolation has encouraged Macca to take risks — and captured a master at the top of his game. A.T.
