‘McCartney 3, 2, 1’
A Beatles/Paul McCartney documentary of a different color (though it’s in black and white), McCartney 3, 2, 1 finds the 79 year-old Macca in a studio soundstage sharing stories of Beatles and solo songs, how they were written, and how they were played and recorded. McCartney’s genial nature, never haughty or condescending, shines as he walks Rick Rubin through the parts and processes that produced some of the world’s most beloved songs. Casual fans will get easily absorbed, and while Beatles experts may recognize many of the stories, but they surely won’t mind reliving the tales delivered here so purely.
