This is the story, in their own words, of a band that came to define a generation.
Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run tells the madcap history of Paul
McCartney and his newly formed band, from their humble beginnings in the early
1970s to their dissolution barely a decade later.
Drawn from over 500,000 words of interviews with McCartney, family and band members, and other key participants, Wings recounts the musical odyssey taken by a man searching for his identity in the aftermath of The Beatles’ breakup.
Soon joined by his wife – American photographer Linda McCartney – on keyboard and vocals, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney sowed the seeds for a new band that would provide the soundtrack to the decade.
Organised chronologically around McCartney, RAM and nine Wings albums, with extraordinary recollections collected by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville and edited into a genre-defining oral history by Ted Widmer, Wings transports the reader to the grit and glamour of the 1970s. It is introduced with a heartfelt foreword by McCartney and contains 150 black-and-white and colour photographs, many previously unseen, as well as timelines, a gigography and a full discography, in an art form all its own.
