We surprise each other - and even if it's like, 'I didn’t know you were going to do that,' we can all follow it. They know what I'm going to do, I know what they are going to do. McCartney credits the band's familiarity for their continued cohesiveness. Anderson and Laboriel also appeared on one track of McCartney III, an album on which all instruments other than theirs were played by McCartney himself. Memory Almost Full returned Wickens to the lineup. After being recruited one day before McCartney performed " Freedom" at Super Bowl XXXVI, Ray joined the band on Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. Driving Rain featured Anderson and Laboriel. Īfter Linda McCartney died in 1998, McCartney began to coalesce a new band on his next few albums. This lineup played on McCartney's studio albums Flowers in the Dirt and Off the Ground and the live albums Tripping the Live Fantastic, Unplugged (The Official Bootleg), and Paul Is Live. Wickens' former collaborator in Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, drummer Chris Whitten, also featured early in this lineup. The former band, active from 1989 to 1993 with occasional appearances thereafter, included his wife Linda McCartney on vocals and keyboards, Hamish Stuart on guitar and bass, Wickens on keyboards, and former Pretenders Robbie McIntosh and Blair Cunningham on guitar and drums respectively. McCartney has had only two significant incarnations of a backing band since the breakup of Paul McCartney and Wings in 1981. The core lineup has been steady since 2002: In addition to McCartney, it includes Wix Wickens on keyboards and serving as musical director, Rusty Anderson on guitar, Brian Ray on guitar and bass, and Abe Laboriel Jr. The Paul McCartney Band is singer Paul McCartney's longtime band of studio and touring musicians.
