10 Songs That Explain Paul McCartney After The Beatles | The Track Star Podcast

Academy Award–winning filmmaker Morgan Neville joins The Track Star Podcast for a deep dive into Paul McCartney’s most misunderstood era: the decade after the Beatles’ breakup.

Centered around a playlist drawn from McCartney, Ram, and the rise of Wings, the conversation traces how Paul rebuilt his identity after the collapse of the biggest band in history, examining the backlash he faced in the early ’70s, Linda’s role in shaping the sound of Wings, and why albums once dismissed by critics are now seen as some of his most inventive work.

Along the way, Neville reflects on the making of his documentary Man on the Run, what it was like conducting intimate audio-only interviews with Paul, and how archival footage and handmade animation helped reframe a period long overshadowed by Beatlemania.
