Ya know, I was going to say exactly what the legendary John B. has now said,
but I thought, why state the obvious? Shoulda followed my instincts. If
anything, Paulie sounds more vibrant than he has in many a moon. I love this
totally gravel-free record.

"Gravel-voiced old man?"  What the hell?  This album may not be  everyone's 
cuppa tea (I really like about half of it), but to say McCartney  sounds
even 
remotely "gravel-voiced" on it is just plain  ridiculous.
