He's producing the new Stones record in addition to making this Paul McCartney album.

And I think they've made something really fresh together, which, by the way, is not easy to do.

You know, there are not a lot of folks from the 60s early rock era who are still producing music.

And if you are, you have this very difficult needle to thread.

On the one hand, you've got to serve your entire legacy and all the fans and all their expectations of what's come before.

And at the same way, you need to make something new.

And you need to do all of that, I feel like, in an age-appropriate way.

So I want to see how Paul McCartney is pulling that off on The Boys of Dungeon Lane.

Because I feel like he has a heck of a lot to teach us about music, even at 83.

I want to start our listen at the very top.

So those are the first notes of the first song, the very first thing that he and Andrew Watt wrote together.

The song is called As You Lie There.

And we begin in this place of a lot of tension.

Yeah.

Strap in, folks, because we're about to talk about the opening chord of this first track on Boys of Dungeon Lane for the next 45 minutes.

I almost drove my car off the road when I hit play on this album.

And the very first thing you hear is this deeply dissonant arpeggiated chord played on the guitar.

It is such a bold way to start this album when people have such high expectations and they're so curious what it's going to sound like.

And the first sound is one of utter ambiguity and tension.

And it floored me.
