Paul McCartney Tribute Album To Include Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Dr. John, Roger Daltrey and More

A new tribute album is in works, honoring the great Sir Paul McCartney. The Art Of McCartney is set to be released on November 18th, but has actually been an ongoing project since 2003. After receiving the green light from McCartney, organizers used Macca’s backing band and recruited various singers to put their spin on McCartney classics.

The album features Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, Billy Joel, Heart, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Willie Nelson, Barry Gibb, Yusuf Islam, B.B. King, Dr. John, Steve Miller… the list goes on and on. The material spans McCartney’s illustrious career, through the Beatles, the Wings, and later solo work.
