Flaming Pie
The 3789th greatest album of all time
Flaming Pie is Paul McCartney's 1997 album that blends folk-tinged acoustic songwriting with polished pop and pop rock arrangements. The record alternates intimate, home-recorded moments such as "Calico Skies" with fuller band productions like "The World Tonight", and features collaborators including Jeff Lynne and Ringo Starr alongside tasteful orchestral touches, resulting in a warm, reflective sound that nods to McCartney's Beatles-era melodicism while using contemporary production approaches. It is often viewed as a late 1990s return to song-centered, melodic work for McCartney.
