"Run Devil Run" by Paul McCartney – ***

First released: 1999

Paul was grieving from the death of longtime wife Linda, so he took out his emotions by running through another set of oldies similar to "Choba B CCCP". This time out, there are more obscure tracks being covered, and also three original tracks are included ("Run Devil Run", "What It Is", "Try Not to Cry"). This set takes a harder edge that its predecessor, and while good, I'm still not too fond of the project, although it is nice to hear Paul rock out again. Paul also performed the entire album live at the Cavern Club later that year. That was released to home video and bootlegs CDs.
