Well, this looks pretty special!
The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present is a two-volume self-portrait in which McCartney recounts his life and art through the prism of 154 songs from all stages of his career - from his earliest boyhood compositions through the legendary decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his solo albums to the present.
The two volumes are introduced and edited by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, who says: "Based on conversations I had with Paul McCartney over a five-year period, these commentaries are as close to an autobiography as we may ever come. His insights into his own artistic process confirm a notion at which we had but guessed - that Paul McCartney is a major literary figure who draws upon, and extends, the long tradition of poetry in English."
Each volume is 480 pages long with colour photography throughout and are not sold separately.
For some years, iconic Australian music writer Clinton Walker has been working on a book which documents a fundamental part of the history of Australian popular music. Knitted into a background of tumultuous social change, Suburban Songbook gets inside the compositions that helped shape the sound, paying long overdue credit to the often-obscure pioneers who toiled to set the stage for the full maturation of Australian music that followed Countdown into the 1980s.
Superbly designed in lavish colour and with a wealth of archival photographs and images, linked playlists (for Spotify and YouTube) and exhaustive discographies across its 272 pages, this book will (like so many of Clinton's other books) become the standard reference on the subject for decades to come.
