This track begins with a somewhat raucous instrumental, which wouldn’t be out of place on “Back To The Egg” or “McCartney 2” – and then at 1:24 into the song, it shifts to a soft melodic groove, then back to the crunchy rock groove….Īs I said, I like this kind of experimentation, which Macca had just done a couple years earlier with his electronic “McCartney 2” – also polarizing when released, now considered a masterpiece…see some of those incredible videos here: This is a song that, to me, showed Paul’s interest in experimentation, something he has done throughout his career. “Average Person” reminds me of Paul’s standard groove – a slice of pop with a catchy beat. “Sweetest Little Show” and “Average Person” are next, more catchy pop clocking in under three minutes each. On “Tug” is was Stevie Wonder, and on “Pipes”, Paul sang twice with Michael Jackson.īravo to “JThrillington” for sharing on Youtube…fascinating behind-the-scenes material of Paul and Michael, as well as Macca’s family. “Pipes” was produced by George Martin, and both albums featured Paul singing two songs with other Artists. “Pipes” has many similarities to “Tug” – partly because some of the songs were recorded during the “Tug Of War” sessions!Īs I said, many of the songs were actually recorded during the “Tug” sessions, and was originally considered for a double album release. “Pipes Of Peace” was released in 1983, and was the follow-up to Paul’s popular “Tug of War” album, which included Paul’s poignant song to John Lennon, “Here Today.” “Pipes” is a “debated” entry in the McCartney solo canon – some like it for the collection of pop hits it contains, while others decry the saccharine nature of some of the music…so which is it? Ringo and Paul recorded together again after years apart. This funny image is from the music video for “So Bad”, one of the playful songs from “Pipes Of Peace”.
