BACK TO THE EGG features 2 songs performed by the "Rockestra," a McCartney project that collected a cast of star performers (Pete Townshend, David Gilmour, etc.) and put them in an "orchestral" setting (ie. string section, horn section, piano and percussion sections). The two songs are "Rockestra Theme" and "So Glad To See You Here." Though he's got an old school Entertainer streak a mile wide, in evidence ever since his early Beatles cover of "Til There Was You," McCartney never forsook his rock & roll roots. Consequently, even though he dished out his fair share of frothy pop ditties with Wings (of which there are a few fine examples here), he's always been capable of rocking out whenever the spirit moves him. In sharp contrast to much of the later Wings output, BACK TO THE EGG is full of bash-em-out, no-nonsense, guitar-driven rockers like "Getting Closer" and "Arrow Through Me." Even when he's indulging in droll whimsy on the order of "Old Siam, Sir" he sounds like he's ready to explode. Notable exception to all this four-on-the-floor business: "Daytime Nightime Suffering," a memorable, melodic examination of the debt all good lads and lasses owe to their mums.
