Reviews
Run Devil Run is an energetic, rock and roll album that belies his mourning. Paul McCartney paid tribute to his roots through this album. He even put up a band for this album with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Deep Purple's Ian Paice. Definitely a must-have for rock and roll fans. --Raine 17:50, 28 January 2007 (PST)
