RUN DEVIL RUN
Run Devil Run is the 12th solo studio album by Paul McCartney, released in 1999. It features mostly covers of both familiar and obscure 1950s rock and roll songs, along with three original McCartney compositions written in the same style, including the title track. As his first project following first wife Linda's death in 1998, McCartney felt the need to get back to his roots and perform some of the music he loved as a teenager. On 14 December 1999, McCartney returned to the Cavern Club stage to play a set publicising the new album.- WIKIPEDIA

RollingStone
We get a great, unpretentious rock & roll record.
-
AV/MUSIC
Run Devil Run is a collection of a dozen covers from the '50s and early '60s, as well as three originals written in a complementary style.
-
ALL MUSIC
It all adds up to a dynamic, loose, carefree, and utterly infectious record, one of his best solo albums.
-
The Austin Chronicle
This collection has the McCartney sound, a fuller exploration of the music within the songs, and the song selection is not a rote list of classics, "All Shook Up" aside
-
The Music Box
Run Devil Run has a brilliant and powerful current of circularity, which drives home the point that there is still plenty of creativity and zest left.

Don Ignacio
Unfortunately, I found too few reasons to appreciate it, and unfortunately this is one of the least inspiring works of his career.

Entertainment
In its details, simply a shamelessly wonderful party album in which you hear one of the great voices of rock act his shoe size.

Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
Apparently having decided that repeating yourself is perfectly excuseable as long as you're Sir Paul McCartney.

It's not an album, unless you're a Paul/Beatles fanatic, that you're likely to reach for very often. Cover sets rarely are, let's face it.
