Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (SHM CD)

Released to widespread critical acclaim in 2005 and earning Paul three Grammy nominations, Chaos and Creation in the Backyard saw McCartney hand over production to the R.E.M and Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich. Featuring a black-and-white cover image, taken by his brother Mike, of a young Paul absentmindedly strumming a guitar in his back garden, and with a song inspired by George Harrison ('Friends to Go'), it's a deeply personal collection of songs enhanced by Godrich's production. It also features 'How Kind of You', which was triggered by Paul's love of language.
