Episode 274: "McCartney and Dylan" (With Jeff Slate) 1:52:35

1:52:35

Our first proper episode in a few weeks! Welcome back 2Legs Faithful! For E274 we were honoured to have the esteemed Jeff Slate, a New York City based musician and journalist join us! In this episode we cover a lot of ground! Dylan and Macca's late career albums from 1997 on ( Time Out Of Mind & Flaming Pie ) being the re-launch for a renaissance for both elder statesmen of rock at the time. "A Complete Unknown", The Beatles solo careers, Wings, Dylan/McCartney's approaches to their archival releases; the standards albums that both have done. Dylan's relationship with George/John and the non-existent one with Macca. We even touch on a little bit of The Who! We dish on how they both sound live currently (double standard ?) and the legacy that both will leave behind. Jeff Slate wrote the liner notes to the 50th Anniversary boxset to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017) as well as the Dylan Bootleg Series Volume 14: More Blood; More Tracks (2018). He has collaborated with Pete Townshend on several projects. He co-wrote a biography on Roy Orbison with Roy's sons. He has also interviewed Bob himself! If this wasn't enough he has his own solo career and he's just recently released his 4th Solo album The Last Day of Summer which features Dave Stewart and Earl Slick. Jeff is known for some controversial "hot takes" and you may hear 1 or 2 in this episode! We love and appreciate honesty here on 2Legs!

Bonus: New Book | "Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run" 24:40

26 days ago24:40

24:40

Paul McCartney certainly knows how to stay busy! 2 weeks ago Paul "Rocked The Bowery Ballroom" and closed out the 50th Anniversary of SNL! Today, 26th February 2025 he announced the forthcoming release of his OWN book titled: "Wings: The Story of a Band On The Run." The press release: As the Sixties came to a close, Paul was faced with the daunting prospect of being a solo artist for the first time. Wings’ ascension to the top of the charts with classic albums including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars and At the Speed of Sound, along with the band’s stadium-filling live shows would prove to critics and fans that not all great acts are impossible to follow. Wings:The Story of a Band on the Run is a rousing, stereophonic celebration of the songs, collaborations and performances that would shape the soundtrack of the late 20th century. Drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with Paul and numerous key players in the band’s orbit, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run weaves together the improbable trajectory of Paul McCartney and his newly formed band (featuring co-founding members Linda McCartney and Denny Laine) across the technicolor 1970s until their dissolution in 1981. Edited by the prize-winning historian Ted Widmer and organized around nine Wings albums, the oral history sheds new light on the immediate aftermath of the seismic global impact of The Beatles’ break-up, as the musical landscape and tastes began to splinter and diverge along with societal views. The narrative follows the various incarnations of the band as they survive a mugging in Nigeria, appear unannounced at UK university halls, tour in a sheared-off school bus with their children, while producing some of the most indelible and acclaimed music of the decade, including: “Mull of Kintyre,” “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “My Love,” “Jet,” “With a Little Luck,” “Silly Love Songs,” “Let ‘Em In,” “Junior’s Farm” and more. With more than 100 black-and-white and color photographs, many never seen before, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run is part of a larger reexamination and appreciation of the group and their catalog, including the 2024 theatrical release of the rare Wings live-in-studio performance film One Hand Clapping and its accompanying album; 50th anniversary editions of the Wings albums Band on the Run (released February 2024) and Venus and Mars (releasing March 2025); and a forthcoming documentary on Paul McCartney’s solo and Wings-related musical work of the 1970s from Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Morgan Neville. 2025 is shaping up to be a FANTASTIC year for all of us Macca-diehards!…

Happy Weekend 2Legs Faithful! Ringo might be getting all the headlines this week (and rightly so, but the Macca Train keeps rolling along!). A topic oft discussed in general but never tackled by us! On this week's show Andy and Tom list their Top 10 favourite Macca Collaborations over the years. We define "Collaboration" as: A song Paul wrote for someone else, someone else's song he sang/played on, a song of his that he did with someone else. Shoutout and appreciation to friend Kyle Hand for the suggested topic! We had some obvious choices but we both had some choices that were surprises to us both! What say you? Who are your Top 10 Macca Collabs over the years? Newer? Older? Well known? Not so well known? Let us know Andy & Tom…

Happy New Year All! We start 2025 with a lively discussion with none other than our friend Dr. Kenneth Womack, (Author and Professor of English/Music at Monmouth University). Ken, typically is writing/lecturing strictly on The Beatles but he is also a huge Wings fan. In this episode, we trace Ken's fandom with Paul/Wings and also simultaneously learning The Beatles catalog at the same time in the late 1970s which sounds pretty Fab! We navigate our discussion throughout the main Wings canon of albums, hear some stories about current students views on The Beatles, how younger people prefer physical media over digital (Win!) and more. Lastly, Ken gives us an update on the Mal Evans Diaries project expected this year and another big surprise! See you at the Fest in March Ken! Peace! Andy and Tom…

Now And Then - One Year On. Hard to believe that fact but it's here. Joining Andy and Tom (as he did a year ago upon release) again is Mitch Axelrod for Episode 265. Mitch is the author of Beatletoons , Co-Host of the "Fab 4 Free 4 All" Podcast and excellent FB group. Mitch also helped produce a video on the popular channel Parlogram about the Beatles US cartoons. As Mitch wrote the book - it was an excellent choice. Congrats! Link is below. We tackled A LOT in this episode. How does Mitch feel the song sounds a year later? Does it have staying power? It's inclusion now in Paul's live shows. It's legacy, how it will stand next to 'Free As A Bird', 'Real Love', all of it. We discuss recent Beatles News, Beatles Marketing Strategies & Product, (Gnomes & Cubes Oh My!) and towards the end Mitch gives us HIS top 10 Worst Solo Paul songs. (A show we did a few weeks back but Mitch was unable to join). We had a very fun and enjoyable chat (as we always do with Mitch!) How do you feel about N&T one year later? The same? Stronger? Weaker?
