After the Beatles called it quits in 1970, Paul McCartney retreated to his farm in Scotland with his young family. At the time, he and his wife Linda had only been married for less than a year and here he was depressed and drinking while brooding about the lack of possibilities in his life following the breakup of his band.
Linda was raising their young child, Mary, while helping Paul get his confidence back as he slowly started working on new music. He ended up recording what became “McCartney” in secrecy on a Studer four-track tape recorder at his house in St. John’s Wood.
The biggest song on the album is “azed,” an ode to Linda, the woman who helped him get back on his feet.

I didn’t give it a second thought that it was a horror movie, and my mom had been in a horror movie.
