Paul McCartney's new album has a title.....
Paul McCartney’s new album will be called The Boys Of Dungeon Lane, according to his brother Mike McCartney.
In a grammatically loose post on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) Mike said “Josh saw this teaser for r kids new album ‘The Boys of Dungeon Lane’ in Liverpool yestas. It was familiar to him as he had designed the Dungeon Lane(Speke) artwork for his Uncle”
Josh is Mike’s son, Paul’s nephew and “r kid” is an abbreviation of ‘Our Kid’ which is of course an affectionate term for a sibling, particularly a brother, in Liverpool. Dungeon Lane is a road in Speke, a suburb of Liverpool near what is now Liverpool John Lennon Airport, about a 15 minute drive from Paul’s old house in Forthlin Road. The postcode area is L24
A website has also been set up, with the URL theboysofdungeonlane.com which currently displays the artwork.
The title suggests Paul’s new album, at least in part, will have a nostalgic element to it, perhaps with references to The Beatles in their early days (‘Early Days’ was actually a song on 2013’s New). With Paul turning 84 on his next birthday (in June) it is hardly surprising that he’s thinking about where it all began. The Boys Of Dungeon Lane will be Paul’s 19th solo studio album (20th if you include Ram, which technically isn’t a solo album) and his first since the ‘rockdown’ release of McCartney III in 2020.
