PAUL McCARTNEY SET TO RELEASE FIRST NEW STUDIO ALBUM IN FOUR YEARS "CHAOS AND CREATION IN THE BACK YARD" IN RECORD STORES SEPTEMBER 12TH "Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard," Paul McCartney's 20th studio recording since The Beatles, marks an end to a nearly four-year hiatus since his last studio recording, 2001's platinum certified "Driving Rain." The new 13-track album is co-produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Travis and Beck) and McCartney, and was recorded in London and Los Angeles over the course of the past two years. Its release coincides with the September 16th launch of McCartney's all new 37-city "US" Tour, his fastest selling concert tour ever. "Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard" is a return to the basics for McCartney. The album successfully fuses his undeniable song writing talents with his unparalleled musicianship. In fact, McCartney is credited with playing the majority of the instruments on the album, which is somewhat reminiscent of "McCartney" (1970) when he was credited with playing all of the instruments. They include the drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, as well as many of the less traditional instruments such as block flute, harmonium and flugelhorn. "Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard" is a mix of up-tempo piano driven McCartney instant classics such as 'Fine Line' and 'Promise To You Girl' and more introspective darker tracks such as 'At The Mercy,' 'Too Much Rain' and 'Riding To Vanity Fair.' One of the many highlights is a track entitled, 'Jenny Wren,' which Paul describes as "daughter of Blackbird," as well as 'Follow Me,' which McCartney debuted at The Glastonbury Festival, while on his '04 Summer European Tour. But "Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard" would not have been either if not for the suggestion of now legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin. Familiar with Nigel's credentials and with his published desire to work with an established artist, Paul made the call that finally put the two together in the studio. The collaboration seemed an unlikely one and thus the rumors began. What type of album was McCartney making? "I did not want to rush this album," said McCartney, who despite repeated inquiries, touring commitments and pressure from his record label, managed to maintain his focus. "I think it was worth the wait though. The music became more interesting over time and I'm really proud of what we did." The results are evident throughout. The songs are sonically robust, the instrumentation and orchestration first rate and the chemistry between Paul and Nigel apparent. The album has an organic feel reminiscent of Paul's first solo release, "McCartney," (1970) and some of The Beatles later recordings. "We really made a lot of it up as we went along," added McCartney. "I'd try something and if it didn't work I'd try something else until it did. It was like making a go-cart in the backyard." "When Paul and I got together we had a common goal," said Godrich. "We wanted to make a great album that was true to Paul. I think that's exactly what we did."

Ja John, je ziet leven en dood staat eigenlijk zo dicht bij elkaar. Daarom moeten we elke dag maar koesteren en dankbaar zijn met de dingen in het leven, waar we van kunnen genieten. De grote en de kleine. Heel veel plezier bij Al. Ik zal aan je denken en voor morgen een goede reis en een hele fijne vakantie toegewenst ook voor A en N. See you, Roos & Jan. N.B. Wat een heerlijke leeftijd.
Enne.....wij houden Paul wel in de gaten, dus ga lekker op vakantie.

Ringo en John gefeliciteerd met jullie verjaardag. Hoe oud wordt Ringo eigenlijk vandaag. Ringo Starr, 65, not ready to retire By JANE STEVENSON - Toronto Sun The Beatles were famous for a song called When I'm 64. Fab Four drummer Ringo Starr officially surpassed that benchmark yesterday when he turned 65. "The seventh day of the seventh month," Starr intones in that famous lazy Liverpudlian accent over the phone from L.A. this week in a Canadian exclusive interview with the Sun. "I don't know if it's a big one," adds Starr, who was plannng to celebrate with just a low-key dinner with his family. Starr, who has his official residence in Monte Carlo but has homes in L.A. and England, acknowledged that in Canada, his age makes him eligible for senior citizen discounts. "Not in Monte Carlo. If I come to Canada, I'll be set," he says cheerfully. "I'm in America now, and I think the retirement age is 70. You know, if you want to live on hamburgers..." Starr rehearsed for and launched his two previous North American tours at Casino Rama in Barrie, but didn't know the plan yet for his next All Starr Band trek. He says he'll head out next summer in support of his just-released new album, Choose Love, and if he starts off again in Barrie that would be fine with him. "I just say, 'Yes, I'd like to go on tour,' and then other people put it together," says Starr. "So I don't want to say, 'I'll definitely be there', in case I'm not, but I hope I am. We couldn't be better looked after anywhere else. It's really good. (Vice-President of Marketing Larry Gregson) and everybody up there, it's fabulous." Starr also says he didn't realize that Barrie's Park Place was the location of the Live 8 Canada concert headlined by Neil Young on Saturday. "They didn't show any of it (on TV) in America, I didn't see any," says Starr, who watched part of the global event from home on TV. "I saw mainly England. Some of America. One Green Day gig in Germany, and Shakira in Paris, that's all I saw. And Neil Young was on, how great is that?" As for Beatles singer-bassist Paul McCartney opening London Live 8's concert alongside U2 with the Fab Four's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Starr says he liked it -- to a point. "I saw Paul and Bono being fabulous and I saw four stupid guys in Pepper suits," said Starr of the four-man brass section who were dressed as Beatles lookalikes in the legendary colourful band outfits. "I thought Paul should have worn the suit and Bono and Bob Geldof should have worn one. Like, real people should have worn them. Then it would have been a real statement. Just to have four silly guys in the back there, I thought was silly." Starr says he wasn't invited to play drums with McCartney for his Live 8 performance, and didn't really want to discuss whether he would have liked to. "Well, it's too late now. So let's not talk about the past. I was never asked to do it. I would have only done it, if I'd dressed up in me suit," he jokes. "That would have been a big condition on my part." Starr's embracing of his Beatles past continues on Choose Love, which liberally references Fab Four song titles, lyrics and even guitar riffs throughout, particularly on the title track. "There's 'The long and winding road is more than a song,' which I thought was a great line," says Starr. "And 'Tomorrow never knows,' was the line of mine that John (Lennon) wrote a song about. So I have no problem using lines like that. They're in a new context. They're not those songs. We're putting it in another context." Starr has also written a sweetly spiritual song called Oh My Lord, which seems to be his version of George Harrison's My Sweet Lord although the drummer disputes that. "Because it has the word 'Lord' in it, everybody keeps saying, 'Oh, well it's like George Harrison,' " says Starr before joking, "I don't know what the Baptists are going to say." Starr says the song came about when he was sitting at his piano and the chords, melody and words, 'Help Me Lord,' came to him. "We were talking about It Don't Come Easy. George and I wrote that song, and he produced it on me and was trying to throw in Hare Krishna and God and everything and at that time of my life, I would say, 'No, no, no, that's you. I don't sing these songs.' And now I have no problem saying it. You know, people change. You just change on this long and winding road we're on, some things become easier." Starr played the piano demo of Oh My Lord for Harrison's widow, Olivia. "I did and she loved it," he says. "She's doing good. I mean, you know, it's been a couple of years now. You'd have to talk to her about how she feels. But I've seen her lately and she's doing better than she was doing. And that's all you can ask for." And soon Ringo will star in ... Ringo Starr's new album, Choose Love, is just one of a number of projects he's involved in these days. He says he and comic book mogul Stan Lee are still working on an original animation series featuring a superhero based on and voiced by Starr. "We're still having meetings," Starr told the Sun. "I said yes, he said yes. Everything's in place. We're looking for the story. I will be the voice and it's still going on.'' Starr is also involved in the new Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas production based on Beatles songs. It's set to debut in 2006. "We're part of that. The Cirque du Soleil are putting their talents with the talents of Beatles music. And that's going to open next year as far as I know. We're involved in the mixing of the Beatles music. We all go to EMI where George Martin is mixing it and we tell what we love and what we don't love."
