Dylan/McCartney I don’t think it’s a good idea.Two tremendous talents as well as two equally tremendous ego’s.

(I second the McCartney/Dyland sentiment…)

I don’t know about an entire album, in my humble opinion, but I don’t see why they couldn’t cut a proper single. As late as last year, Dylan said that he thinks Macca ’still has it.’ It was a really good Rolling Stone interview, and Dylan said: “I’m in awe of McCartney. He’s about the only one that I am in awe of. He can do it all. And he’s never let up… He’s just so damn effortless.”
So … who knows, eh?

I read something about the Brian Wilson/Paul McCartney collaboration a couple of years ago, where Wilson said that Paul didn’t want to work with him. They did a track on Brian Wilsons “Gettin’ In Over My Head” in 2004, but it seems like Wilson would like do more music with McCartney, but not vice versa. It’s a good track, ” A Friend Like You”, nothing amazing, but it’s nice to hear them sing together.

Brian Wilson has been telling anyone who will listen in recent years about how much he wants to work with Paul.

A very good idea. Especially Pete Best. Maybe Ringo suited The Beatles better, But listening to pre-Ringo Beatles-music, Best can surely hold the beat rock steady and it would be a lot fun if he played drums on a McCartney album all those years later.

Hey, Dylan went recorded a duet with Ringo, why not?

I think Paul’s next album should be a “reunion” record that he could record songs with people from his past. Imagine a McCartney album with Mary Hopkins, Denny Laine, Peter & Gordon, and YES… Pete Best!!! It’s time for Paul to reach out to good ol’ Pete.

Or McCartney/Dylan. : ) For some reason it seems important to McCartney being credited first. At least it was for a period. I thought it was kind of funny. But what a collaboration! I’ve been dreaming of this for years. I think they would fit very good together, because they are somewhat different from each other, yet the both of them are brilliant songwriters. It’s not that far from Lennon/McCartney really. You know, kind of the optimist versus the pessimist. Make it happen! If not for a whole album, at least for a couple o songs.
