The Boys of Dungeon Lane (LP, 2026 Purple Vinyl)

This LP is pressed on Purple vinyl.

Step back into the Liverpool of the 1940s and ‘50s with Paul McCartney’s twentieth solo studio album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. Scheduled for release on 29 May 2026 through Capitol Records, this 14-track collection was co-produced with Andrew Watt in sessions stretching back to 2024, capturing the warmth of childhood streets and the quiet resilience of post-war Britain.

Recorded over five years after his last solo project, The Boys of Dungeon Lane offers a rare glimpse into memories never shared before, blending nostalgic ballads with freshly inspired love songs. The album’s title draws from a road in Liverpool where McCartney spent his early years, and tracks like “Days We Left Behind” and “First Star of the Night” weave melancholic reflections with McCartney’s signature sense of hope.

Featuring guest appearances from Ringo Starr, Nancy McCartney, and Chrissie Hynde, the album balances introspection and melody across its 47 minutes. Standout moments include the closing dual of “Salesman Saint” and “Momma Gets By,” while the acoustic beauty of “First Star of the Night” shines with wistful optimism. Whether revisiting the past or embracing the present, McCartney proves he’s still got the magic that defined generations of listeners.
