Advantages: lovely feel to the album, some great tracks

Disadvantages: a couple of tracks that dont make the grade

Released in 1997 after a fairly quiet few years by his standards this was a triumphant return to form. To say it was his best album since some of his 1970s material would be no understatement. After working with The Beatles again for the Anthology project, Macca was spurred on again and began working on songs as he would have when he was a Beatle, writing them and getting them on tape in quick succession.
He has a little help from Jeff Lynne of ELO and also Ringo Starr who appears on acouple of tracks, most notably, the stand out track of the album 'Beautiful night', the catchiest song on the album and one of the best songs he has written, featuring some lovely orchestration from George Martin and classic Ringo drumming.
What really comes across in this album is that Macca was having a lot of fun making it. Jamming with Ringo and Jeff Lynne seemed to do him good. There are a couple of tracks that arent so good, like the title track but that doesnt detract from what is a great little album

Summary: The guy is a musical genius
