"Over 90 minutes, the world's most successful living songwriter traced his way back to the beginning, sharing memories of his youth in Liverpool, anecdotes about his friendship with John Lennon and George Harrison, and glimpses into his songwriting process."
"The album began, he explained, with a cup of tea five years ago and a meeting with producer Andrew Watt. Idly playing guitar, McCartney stumbled across a chord he didn't recognise."
