In 2003, he decided to embark on his biggest project yet: a massive Paul McCartney tribute record. “I never realized this would take me 10 years,” Sall says. MORE: [In Pics: The 12 Strangest Paul McCartney Songs](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/the-12-weirdest-paul-mccartney-songs-20131025) _The Art of McCartney,_ a 42-track set out November 18th, took so long for a very good reason – nearly everyone Sall approached said yes. The album has one of the most impressive lineups of any tribute record ever: from Brian Wilson, who covered the 1982 deep cut “Wanderlust,” to Billy Joel (“Maybe I’m Amazed”), to Chrissie Hynde (“Let It Be”). The biggest coup of all: Bob Dylan, who rarely participates in these sorts of projects. Dylan chose to tackle “Things We Said Today.” “I was surprised he decided to take part,” says Sall. “That’s not the song I would have picked, but it sure fits him.” MORE: [Paul McCartney: The Long and Winding Q&A](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/paul-mccartney-the-long-and-winding-q-a-20140717) Willie Nelson contributed a stark acoustic “Yesterday,” though it’s not his first time covering the song. “I recorded it when it first hit the market,” Nelson says. “I had a band in Fort Worth, and I told the audience, ‘Here’s a pretty good song I heard by a little country group called the Beatles.’ I just think McCartney is one of the best songwriters around.” MORE: [In Pics: Paul McCartney – A Life in Pictures](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/paul-mccartney-a-life-in-pictures-20131018) In most cases, Sall personally matched the song with the artist he wanted to cover it, and McCartney’s backing band – whom McCartney loaned Sall for the project – provided the backing. Sammy Hagar, who did “Birthday,” was stunned he was asked to participate. “I might have gone with ‘Let Me Roll It’ or ‘Maybe I’m Amazed,’ ” he says. “But ‘Birthday’ does fit my voice. Great guitar riff, too.” MORE: [In Pics: Behind Beatlemania: Intimate Photos of Paul McCartney](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/behind-beatlemania-intimate-photos-of-paul-mccartney-20140214) 'The Art of McCartney': The Making of a Massive Tribute Album ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3590050/paul-mccartney-tribute-album/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3590050/paul-mccartney-tribute-album/"},"headline":"'The Art of McCartney': The Making of a Massive Tribute Album","datePublished":"2014-11-25T23:25:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:29:25.816Z","description":"McCartney covers LP may have the most impressive lineup ever","url":"https://time.com/3590050/paul-mccartney-tribute-album/","keywords":["celebrities","Music","Paul McCartney","The Beatles","Album"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc5b06671d2675baa/698769243c1639f3d545001e/paul-mccartney.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Andy Greene / Rolling Stone"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc5b06671d2675baa/698769243c1639f3d545001e/paul-mccartney.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Sir Paul McCartney attends 2014 Women's Leadership Award Honoring Stella McCartney at Lincoln Center on Nov. 13, 2014 in New York City.","caption":"Sir Paul McCartney attends 2014 Women's Leadership Award Honoring Stella McCartney at Lincoln Center on Nov. 13, 2014 in New York City.","creditText":"Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3590050/paul-mccartney-tribute-album/","name":"'The Art of McCartney': The Making of a Massive Tribute Album"}}]}] ```
