Driving Rain
(Capitol)

McCartney’s late-career renaissance reached new heights here. The lyrics unmawkishly depict the thrill of new love—two years earlier McCartney had met his second wife, the former model Heather Mills—and the music is pop psychedelia: hook-packed verses and choruses that turn into searching jams, with layered guitar textures, subtle electronica and some remarkable bass playing. The one misstep: a hidden bonus track “Freedom,” a corn-pone response to the 9/11 attacks.
