Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
Maybe it has been posted here somewhere, but have you guys seen the new album title?
Paul has revealed his new album tittle on BBC Radio One.
"Chaos and Creation in the Backyard"
The new album, the follow-up to 2001's Driving Rain, is expected in the autumn 05.
Paul has been working with producer Nigel Godrich who has previously worked with Radiohead and Travis.
Among the rumoured song titles is A Fine Line. As well as his regular band, Paul also recorded with former Jellyfish frontman Jason Falkner and Bill Withers' former drummer James Gadson on recent sessions.

A little clunky as a title, I think, but it makes me curious as to what it's going to sound like! Can't wait!

I don't like it...I think it's too long. Maybe it would have sounded better "Chaos In The Backyard". Anyway, I can't wait to hear it!

I was thinking about the same lines either "Chaos and Creation" or "Chaos in the background" but then again why not go for a long title. Anyway I guess this is more for real then all the bogus titles spread some time ago like Bushie Tushie, and the one about the papers?

Well he was the creator of the Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band concept in a time when most of the albums were called Introducing The... or Meet The... So in a way I like the fact that he's giving some space to being creative in that field, too.

Since I read the title, I have this Stealers Wheel song 'Everyone's agreed that everything will turn out fine' in my mind...the line just before the title in the song could exactly fit Paul's line
Everyone's agreed to have a good time...
that one
Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
Kids and sheep are running round my chair
Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
Seems to me they might as well move elsewhere on the ground...
jusy a little fantasy...ignore me

A German newspage reports September 12, 2005 as probable release date. It is to have 13 songs, recorded in two wonderful inspiring cities, London and Los Angeles.
They name EMI Germany as the source.
The report says Paul plays guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, flute, harmonium and horn on the album.
Some of the songs included are "Fine Line", "Promise To You Girl", "At The Mercy" "Too Much Rain", "Riding To Vanity Fair" and "Jenny Wren", which Paul himself calls the 'daughter of Blackbird"

Okay, so we have Blackbird, Bluebird, Single Pigeon, and Jenny Wren? WHAT IS IT WITH PAUL AND BIRDS?! So many of his songs are about birds, or cars/roads/driving a car on a road. Not that I'm complaining because I think the songs are just marvelous.

"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 rumours 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."
Full Tracklisting:
Fine Line 3:05
How Kind Of You 4:47
Jenny Wren 3:47
At The Mercy 2:38
Friends To Go 2:43
English Tea 2:12
Too Much Rain 3:24
A Certain Softness 2:42
Riding To Vanity Fair 5:07
Follow Me 2:31
Promise To You Girl 3:10
This Never Happened Before 3:26
Anyway 3:50
Total Running Time: 46:54

After Driving Rain I couldn't have cared less for another Paul album, but I'm now looking forward to this after what I've read!

Great title. Some one once said that you can search the wide world, but everything you seek is right in your own backyard.
