Album #91: Run Devil Run by Paul McCartney


1.      
Sound: 50’s rock n’ roll with an edge
Mood: Upbeat
Important Songs: Run Devil Run; All Shook Up
One Song You Must Hear:  She Said Yeah
Quote:  “Run devil run—the angels havin’ fun making winners out of sinners.”
Notes: After Linda McCartney passed away, Paul eventually went back into the studio, but he wasn’t able to write yet.  So he and his studio band just played a number of the classic 50’s rock tunes he loved growing up.  Some of these were covered by the early Beatles, but not with this power.  "Run Devil Run" is the name of a real store McCartney saw in the Southern U.S. which sold pharmaceuticals and witch doctor charms.
