This second volume covers a further fifty songs from Paul
McCartney's career after The Beatles. McCartney's work is reviewed
in the context of musical trends since 1970. Each song is in the
format of a short essay, with regard to tonality, key signature,
instrumentation, harmony, modulation and dynamics. The book also
includes an examination of McCartney's bass guitar playing both
during and after The Beatles; an extended introduction to
compositional devices such as secondary dominants, circles of
fifths and the Mixolydian mode. For those without a background in
music theory, the book includes an extensive index with an
explanation of terms and specific examples from songs. The book
concludes with two extended essays; one of McCartney's
compositional style and the other on McCartney's cultural influence
since 1970. There is an extensive interview with Wings' drummer
Geoff Britton as well as fan anecdotes. At over 170k words, this is
the most thorough study of McCartney's post-Beatles work ever to be
printed.
