Paul McCartney’s 1990s was an era like no other, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s. Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see McCartney re-emerge with greater energy, momentum and self-belief. JR Moores’ sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney’s 90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects and imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers and a whole lot more besides.

Moores reveals how McCartney’s reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and argues that Macca’s output and activities in the 90s were to uncover more about the person behind them than any other decade.
