PAUL McCARTNEY AND WINGS...Back To The Egg
Released: 35 years ago today, June 8, 1979
Highest Chart Position: #8 U.S. Billboard Album Charts
Track Highlights: Arrow Through Me, Getting Closer, Spin It On, Winter Rose/Love Awake, Rockestra Theme
This turned out to be the last album Paul recorded with his band Wings. This also turned out to be the rockinest album Paul has ever released as the punk movement was riding high in europe in 1979. It also has some great softer tunes with "Winter Rose/Love Awake" and "After The Ball/Million Miles". This is a great album and sometimes I wish Paul would rock out more because he's fantastic at it. This album alone proves that. Check it out, I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars
