McCartney Times

Recorded in the summer of 1976, Wings Over America arrived on Dec. 10 of that year feeling like a triumphant musical summation for Paul McCartney and Wings.In stark contrast to his modern-day globe-trotting ways, McCartney hadn’t at this point toured the U.S. in 10 years — and those concerts dated to his time in the Beatles. Only one of his former bandmates had even attempted such a thing in the interim, and George Harrison’s 1974 stateside jaunt (staggered as it was by his throat problems) had been sadly underwhelming.
