McCartney Earns Three Grammy Nods for Critically Hailed 'Chaos And Creation In The Backyard'

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Paul McCartney earned three Grammy nominations today for his recently released, critically acclaimed album, "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard." With nominations for Album Of The Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for the album's first single "Fine Line," and Best Pop Vocal Album, (as well as a Producer Of The Year nod for Nigel Godrich) McCartney's "Chaos" stands as one of the most nominated albums of the year.

"It's always great to be recognized for your work," said McCartney, who recently completed his sold-out, 37-city, "US Tour" of America. "We're very proud of the album, the reception it's had and I'm chuffed for Nigel. It was a great album to make. And seeing as I've never actually won a Grammy for my post-Wings work, it's pretty exciting to think it might happen."

"Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard" is McCartney's 20th studio recording since The Beatles. Upon its release this past September, which marked the end to a nearly four year studio hiatus for McCartney, the recording was met with unprecedented universal critically praise. The comparisons to "Chaos," were made at the time, many pointing out similarities to "McCartney," as well as to the Beatles "White Album."

"Chaos" was produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Travis and Beck) and was recorded in London and Los Angeles over the past two years.
