Paul McCartney draws on memory and experience across The Boys of Dungeon Lane, a collection shaped by personal reflection and newly written material. Revisiting post-war Liverpool, he traces his upbringing, the strength of his parents, and early encounters with George Harrison and John Lennon, long before Beatlemania took hold. These songs lean into direct storytelling, offering a clear-eyed look at the people and places that shaped his path, alongside a handful of newly written love songs that carry the same sense of intimacy.
