At eighty-three, Paul McCartney continues to make records and meaning in equal measure, releasing his twentieth solo album as a meditation on memory, place, and the people who shaped him. The Boys of Dungeon Lane reaches back through a Liverpool childhood, a band that remade popular music, and decades of misplaced guilt — the last of which a documentary finally helped him set down. It is the portrait of an artist who has never confused legacy with conclusion, and who still finds, in an unfamiliar guitar chord, a reason to begin again.
