Hi! This week Andy and Tom are very pleased to have Super Fan "Dino V" join us for a chat about the November 2001 release of Driving Rain. It's an album that gets a lot of chat on McCartney fan pages/sites - mostly negative.

We contextualise the time period from whence it came. Discuss reasons why it gets the bad rap it has received 23 years on since it's release. 'Freedom', 9/11, The Heather factor. Too long of a record.

All these points and more are discussed! It was an album that we (Andy & Tom) were majorly excited for in 2001 when it came out. But it hasn't aged well with later day epics such as Chaos and Creation In The Backyard, Memory Almost Full, Electric Arguments and New.

Dino also gives us a background into his super Macca fandom. (He's truly hardcore! Having met Paul & Linda on several occasions). Having chats like this are good because it does give us a reason to go back and listen and see if our opinions have changed with time or have stayed the same.

Thoughts on Driving Rain? Let us know in the comments!

Peace

Andy & Tom
