The McCartney Legacy

The McCartney Legacy is a biographical book series about the post-Beatles musical career of Paul McCartney, written by music journalist Allan Kozinn and researcher Adrian Sinclair. Volume 1 of the series, covering the years 1969–1973, was released on 13 December 2022. A second volume, covering 1974–1980, is planned for the end of 2024.[1] The project was influenced and inspired by the work of Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn, author of the The Beatles: All These Years series.[2][1] McCartney did not participate in the project but did not discourage others from giving interviews,[1] such as former Wings drummer Denny Seiwell.[3]

Volume 1 was received favorably in The New York Times as a "well-planned encore" to McCartney's 2021 semi-autobiographical work, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present.[2] Music scholar Kenneth Womack praised it as "a triumph. Masterful in scope and full of rich detail."[4]
