- Co-author Allan Kozinn on the The McCartney Legacy Volume 1 (1969 to 1973).
Volume 1 was received favourably in The New York Times as a "well-planned encore" to McCartney's 2021 semi-autobiographical work, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present. The book was also heralded by the British music press, receiving 5/5 from Record Collector magazine's Jamie Atkins, 9/10 from Uncut magazine's Jim Wirth, 8/10 from Classic Rock magazine's Hugh Fielder, and 4/5 from Mojo magazine's Tom Doyle. Music scholar Kenneth Womack praised it as "a triumph. Masterful in scope and full of rich detail." Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield described the book as a "comprehensive, painstaking, dazzling and definitive chronicle." Lewisohn praised the book as an "accurate biography of a universal explorer."

I was totally absorbed in this brilliant book. I thought I knew it all, but learnt and understood so much more about the early seventies McCartney. For one thing, I never quite appreciated how focused and determined he was to make Ram and Red Rose Speedway the very best they could be. I'd assumed he was getting stoned in the country for much of the time, but no, he'd found his ambition again, even though the odds were against him at the time. So looking forward to the second volume!
Great book, I devoured it. Interesting discussion, thanks.
Can't wait for Volume 2!
Great interview. Lots of insight on display.
Your site is a goldmine. Thank you.
Great channel. Kozninn is great.
This is a great book and long overdue, in my opinion. I'm so tired of books that take a famous person like McCartney or Dylan and go into such great detail in their "prime" which tends to be a pretty short span of their entire life and work, and then breeze through the next 30 or 40 years in a few chapters as if the person isn't creating anything of interest or value. I like the detail given to the great periods, but would also love it if they could do as Allan suggested and make it a five volume set of books and cover every period thoroughly. Being a huge McCartney fan, I'm as interested in his less famous albums, his paintings, his tours, his animation/film projects and charitable causes as I am his most well known albums. His never-ending energy and creativity is such an inspiration.
Lovely review, reading the book now and loving it. Thank you! Maybe he wanted to make a credible album for himself and his fans, instead of what others think, well, why should he care what they think, he’s beyond that now, hopefully..
