About The Boys Of Dungeon Lane
Released on May 29, “The Boys Of Dungeon Lane” marks Paul McCartney’s first full-length studio album since 2020’s “McCartney III.” The record was preceded by its stunning first single, “Days We Left Behind,” as well as Paul’s first-ever duet with Ringo Starr, featuring the two Beatles reunited on “Home to Us.” Blending reflective songwriting with classic McCartney melodies, the album continues the legendary musician’s prolific late-career run more than six decades after the formation of The Beatles.
