That Was Me is an engaging and insightful journey through the prolific and awe-inspiring career of Paul McCartney. With focus on Sir Paul's post-Beatles years, Richard Driver explores the vast output of McCartney, from his homespun solo albums to his more elaborate compositions and productions, and from his videos and tours to his collaborations with his former Beatles and a multitude of other pop stars. The result is a rich history of a pop music master and a fascinating guide for music fans and a highly useful resource for scholars. -- Thomas Kitts, co-editor of Popular Music and Society and Rock Music Studies
