Paul McCartney. Music Is Ideas. The Stories Behind the Songs (Vol. 2) 1990-2012 traces McCartney’s post-Beatles output from 1990 to 2012 in the form of 250 song entries, filled with details about the recordings, stories behind the sessions and musical analysis. His pop albums, his forays into classical and avant-garde music, his penchant for covering old standards: a complete book to discover how these languages cross-pollinate and influence each other.

Accompanied by images, drawing on interviews (including many conducted by the author) and contemporary reviews and enriched with QR codes for a multimedia experience, this reference book draws the portrait of a musical craftsman who has elevated popular song to an art form.
