Paul McCartney - Comfort of Love - Non-Album Tracks (2002-2005)

It's been a slow process, but I continue to work my way through Paul McCartney's solo career with stray tracks compilations. We're finally firmly into the 2000s with this one, the twelfth in the series so far.

All but three of the songs have been officially released. Those three are "India," an unusual original that was only played once in concert, " Celebration (Sea Melody)," another original, and "All Things Must Pass." That last song is one of three George Harrison songs sung by McCartney in tribute, due to the fact that his fellow Beatle died in 2001. These three songs come from concert bootlegs, but all have excellent sound quality.

In 2005, McCartney released the studio album "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard," which was well received by critics. Five of the songs here are B-sides from singles released from that album, and another one is a bonus tracks. The two other George Harrison compositions, "For You Blue" and "Something," are from the "Concert for George" album in 2002. That just leaves "Whole Life," which is a collaboration with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, and was released on a various artists EP.

This album is 44 minutes long.
