McCartney (1970), primeiro álbum solo do homônimo, um disco único, rústico, criativo, afirmativo. Se vc ainda não ouviu precisa fazê-lo pra saber direitinho quem é esse sujeito James Paul McCartney. Vale assistir ao vídeo do Making of, ainda mais quando se trata de um trabalho feito literalmente em 1a. pessoa, em que Paul compôs, produziu, gravou todos instrumentos e adicionou apenas uma ou outra contribuição vocal de Linda.
"McCartney", the first solo album by English musician Paul McCartney, was issued on Apple Records 44 years ago today (17 April 1970) after McCartney had resisted attempts by his fellow Beatles to have the release delayed to allow for Apple's previously scheduled titles, notably the band's "Let It Be" album. McCartney recorded his eponymous solo album during a period of depression and confusion, following John Lennon's private announcement in September 1969 that he was leaving the Beatles, and the conflict over its release further estranged McCartney from his bandmates. A press release in the form of a self-interview, supplied with UK promotional copies of "McCartney", led to the announcement of the group's break-up on 10 April 1970.
Apart from then-wife Linda's vocal contributions, McCartney performed the entire album by himself, playing every instrument. Featuring loosely arranged (and in some cases, unfinished) home recordings, McCartney explored the back-to-basics style that had been the original concept for the "Let It Be" project in 1969. Partly as a result of McCartney's role in officially ending the Beatles' career, the album received an unfavourable response from the majority of music critics, although the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" was consistently singled out for praise. Commercially, "McCartney" benefited from the publicity surrounding the break-up; it held the number 1 position for three weeks on the US Billboard 200 chart and peaked at number 2 in Britain. The album was reissued in June 2011 as part of the Paul McCartney Archive Collection.
