Drawn from over 500,000 words of interviews with McCartney, family and band members, and other key participants, \u003cem\u003eWings\u003c\/em\u003e recounts--now with a half-century's wisdom--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 later provide the soundtrack of the decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Organized chronologically around \u003cem\u003eMcCartney\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRAM\u003c\/em\u003e, and nine Wings albums, the narrative begins when a twenty-seven-year-old superstar, rumored to be dead, fled with his new wife to a remote sheep farm in Scotland amid a sea of legal and personal rows. Despite the harsh conditions, the Scottish setting gave McCartney time to create, and it was here where this new band emerged. \u003cem\u003eWings\u003c\/em\u003e then follows the group as they play unannounced shows at university halls, tour in a sheared-off double-decker bus with their children, survive a robbery on the streets of Nigeria, and eventually perform blockbuster stadium shows on their world tour, all while producing some of the most enduring music of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With extraordinary recollections collected by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville and edited into a genre-defining oral history by Ted Widmer, \u003cem\u003eWings\u003c\/em\u003e transports the reader, as if on a magic carpet, to the grit and glamour of the 1970s. Pushing creative forms to produce a new history, even a Wings bible, the book refracts a bygone era in a totally new light.
