Now he confirmed that there is one track, \u201cHome to Us\u201d, in which he duets with Ringo Starr.<\/p>\n<p>Paul McCartney said about his duet with Ringo<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Ringo and said I worked with this guy Andrew. Ringo came over to Andrew\u2019s studio and played a little bit of drums. I think Ringo thought that all he had to do was play a little bit of drums, and Andrew would make some marvelous thing out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Then I saw) what he did, out of curiosity\u2026I thought, \u2018Wow, that\u2019s really good\u2026 We should make the track that Ringo hoped, and then get it over to him and complete the circle.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a duet. It was really nice, because we\u2019ve never done that. Ringo\u2019s never just taken a duet with one of the Beatles, you know? So, there you go. We had it,\u201d Paul McCartney <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/paul-mccartney-ringo-starr-duet-home-to-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">said<\/a> during a listening session of the album with the producer Andrew Watt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Boys of Dungeon Lane\u201d tracklist<\/p>\n<p>As You Lie There<br \/>\n\u2060Lost Horizon<br \/>\n\u2060Days We Left Behind<br \/>\n\u2060Ripples in a Pond<br \/>\n\u2060Mountain Top<br \/>\n\u2060Down South<br \/>\n\u2060We Two<br \/>\n\u2060Come Inside<br \/>\n\u2060Never Know<br \/>\n\u2060Home to Us<br \/>\n\u2060Life Can Be Hard<br \/>\n\u2060First Star of the Night<br \/>\n\u2060Salesman Saint<br \/>\n\u2060Momma Gets By<\/p>\n<p>The idea for the album began five years ago, after Paul spent time with Andrew Watt, who has produced many Rock stars from older generations, including Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne and The Rolling Stones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Boys of Dungeon Lane was first brought into existence five years ago when Paul met producer Andrew Watt for a cup of tea and an exchange of ideas. While playing around on the guitar during the meeting, Paul happened upon a chord that even he didn\u2019t recognise. Undeterred and driven by his experimental nature, Paul carried on changing one note, then another, until he had a three-chord sequence, which Watt suggested they should record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis session yielded the album\u2019s opening track, As You Lie There. Encouraged by his new producer, Paul would flesh out the new track, playing the majority of instruments \u2013 much in the spirit of his 1970 solo debut album, McCartney. So began the journey of what became Paul\u2019s 18th studio album credited solely to Paul,\u201d the official press release explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Paul McCartney recently announced \u201cThe Boys of Dungeon Lane\u201d and released its first single, \u201cDays We Left&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[109997,2617,88,831,5450,216,3,13501,12247,18715],"class_list":["post-597012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-beatles","tag-classic-rock","tag-entertainment","tag-featured","tag-interviews","tag-music","tag-news","tag-paul-mccartney","tag-pop-rock","tag-ringo-starr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
