Paul McCartney Was 'So Happy' To Perform On The New Rolling Stones Album
The Rolling Stones are set to release their first album of original material in nearly 20 years later this week. The set, titled Hackney Diamonds, features a slew of superstar collaborators, including the one and only Paul McCartney. According to one of the members of the band, it seems the former Beatle was as thrilled to be involved as fans of both acts likely are that he was in on the fun.
“He was so happy,” explained Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood when asked about McCartney's experience playing on the band’s new album. The rocker spoke to music outlet NME about Hackney Diamonds and their new work with the Beatles legend, who Wood referred to lovingly as "The schoolboy!"
McCartney is featured on the song "Bite My Head Off" on Hackney Diamonds. The tune has been described as leaning into "punk," which makes it sonically different from much of what’s been heard from the title so far. McCartney played bass on the track, and he's only credited on the liner notes, not as a featured artist or a songwriter.
