James McCartney, the son of Paul McCartney, has announced he'll play a string of 14 dates in the UK from the end of February and into March. He has also launched a website at www.jamesmccartney.com that includes links to Facebook and MySpace pages.
About his work, the younger McCartney says, "The music was inspired by The Beatles, Nirvana, The Cure, PJ Harvey, Radiohead - and all good music. It is basically rock n' roll, clean sounding and vocal. We are mixing our album in Sussex and New York. The words on the album refer to spirituality, love, family, trying to sort out one's life, and many other things. I have written the songs over a 10-year period."
He is working on a debut album produced by David Kahne, who produced his father's albums "Driving Rain" and "Memory Almost Full." McCartney says he's been writing and recording music for the proposed album for two years.

Liked the studio version of Angel on the website.
Good luck to him. Hope he gets over his visable discomfort on stage.
Got something to say?
