About Wings Over New Orleans: Unseen Photos Of Paul And
Product Description New Orleans fans meet Paul and Linda McCartney. In 1975, Paul and Linda McCartney came to New Orleans with Wings to record Venus and Mars at Allen Toussaint's famous Sea-Saint Studio. They immersed themselves in the city for several months, going to Mardi Gras with their children and enjoying local music as they worked on their album. Chance meetings led to blossoming acquaintances, and Crescent City fans of Wings and the Beatles had the rare chance to spend countless hours with the gracious stars, showing off their city and rubbing shoulders with rock royalty. This volume contains reminiscences of meeting Paul and Linda and scores of previously unpublished candid photographs, showcasing the couple's kind, down-to-earth nature. Lovers of this era of classic rock will enjoy this glimpse into the everyday life of the McCartneys. From the Back Cover For a few lucky McCartney fans, early 1975 is a time they’ll never forget. Paul and Linda McCartney, with their band Wings, came to record their album Venus and Mars at New Orleans’ famous Sea-Saint Studio. Beatles buffs came by, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the most famous rock stars of the century. They were surprised to find their idols were down-to-earth and unpretentious, generous with their time and conversation. More than sixty candid photographs from their stay—most previously unpublished—accompany reminiscences from fans who got to know the McCartneys in the Crescent City. From taking the McCartney children to Mardi Gras to catching a ride from Paul, these stories and photographs show Paul and Linda at their most genuine. Author and musician John Taylor fell in love with the music and style of the Beatles during their famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. As a teenager, he picked up a bass guitar just like Paul’s and has been playing ever since. A chance meeting outside of Sea-Saint Studio led to a months-long acquaintance with Paul and Linda McCartney and scores of pictures and conversations. Taylor plays with the Louisiana-based group The Meanies and lives outside of New Orleans. About the Author John Taylor is the bass player for the Meanies, a rock, funk, soul, and country band. A lifelong musician and prolific songwriter, Taylor is also a background actor and has appeared in more than forty movies, including Dallas Buyers Club. Taylor lives outside of his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.
