Product description

In the wake of a tumultuous year, Paul McCartney delivered "Driving Rain," his twelfth studio album, in November 2001. Recorded swiftly at Henson Recording Studio in Los Angeles and later at Madison Square Garden and Quad Studio in New York City, the album showcases McCartney's versatility and resilience. With a blend of polished tracks and nearly improvised pieces, "Driving Rain" spans a wide range of styles and tones, reflecting the artist's enduring creativity.

The album opens with the title track, "Driving Rain," a song that captures the raw energy of its live recording session. McCartney's signature bass and vocals are complemented by a mix of acoustic guitars and drums, setting the stage for the diverse sounds to come. Standout tracks like "From A Lover To A Friend," "Freedom," and "Heather" highlight McCartney's ability to craft memorable melodies and poignant lyrics. The hidden track "Freedom," added as a response to the September 11th attacks, adds a layer of historical significance to the album.

"Driving Rain" received generally strong reviews upon its release, although its sales were lower than expected. Despite this, the album remains a testament to McCartney's enduring talent and his ability to adapt to changing times. With its mix of personal reflections and universal themes, "Driving Rain" is a compelling addition to McCartney's extensive discography. The album features 16 tracks, including "Lonely Road," "She's Given Up Talking," "I Do," "Tiny Bubble," "Magic," "Your Way," "Spinning On An Axis," "About You," "Back In The Sunshine Again," "Your Loving Flame," "Riding Into Jaipur," and "Rinse The Raindrops." Each song offers a unique perspective, making "Driving Rain" a rich and rewarding listening experience.

This 2LP set was released in 2001.

  • Fantastic Album with Standout Tracks

    5 out of 5 stars
    lofoekNovember 19, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is absolutely fantastic, and the insert is amazing (it's also quite big, which is a nice surprise). Every track is a hit, although I'm not sure why they included Riding into Jaipur—it feels a bit out of place. Your Way, one of the chill, laid-back songs, is a standout for me and has a really Bip-Bop vibe. Lonely Road and Rinse the Raindrops are awesome rock tracks that really elevate the album. Your Way would've made a perfect single, in my opinion.

  • Local Shop Better Value

    5 out of 5 stars
    ywairrx39506July 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Before you even think about shelling out 300€ for a "very good +" used record that's full of scratches and has a torn/bent cover, have a look at your local second-hand record shop. I picked mine up today for just 125€. The front cover had a tiny rip from an old price tag, but the records themselves had barely been played and were in near mint, excellent condition. That's a reasonable price, not like the crap you keep finding here.

  • McCartney's Fresh Start Shines

    5 out of 5 stars
    Kulepum_SewJuly 14, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Paul McCartney's life had taken a new turn: it had been three years since Linda's passing, and he'd found love again with Heather Mills. It's akin to swapping veggie patties for genuine meatloaf. Much like his personal life, his music evolved too. Paul embraced a more contemporary sound, even crafting a track (Riding Into Jaipur) that could easily be mistaken for a George Harrison composition. This album was a gem, offering more enjoyment than many of his previous works.

  • Album Hits, One Miss

    5 out of 5 stars
    ceguicJune 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is absolutely fantastic, and the insert is amazing (and quite big, too). Each track is a hit, although I'm not sure why they included Riding into Jaipur—it feels a bit out of place. Your Way, one of the chill, slow jams, is a standout for me and has a real Bip-Bop vibe. Lonely Road and Rinse the Raindrops are killer rock tracks that really elevate the album. Your Way could've easily been a single, honestly.

  • Album Hits with Standout Tracks

    5 out of 5 stars
    yeboaxJune 17, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This album is absolutely fantastic, and the insert is amazing (and quite unexpectedly large as well). Each track is a hit (though I'm not sure why they included Riding into Jaipur, it doesn't quite fit). Your Way, one of the chill, slow-jam tracks, is a standout for me, and it has a very Bip-Bop vibe. Lonely Road and Rinse the Raindrops are killer rock songs that really elevate the album. Your Way would've made an awesome single, if you ask me.
