  Sir Paul McCartney Duets With Yusuf

  A very special recording session took place in London recently when Yusuf invited Sir Paul McCartney to sing on a new track, entitled ‘Boots & Sand’.

  The song was written by Yusuf about the “No-Fly List” saga when, together with his daughter, he was refused entry to the USA in 2004. Drawing on diametric influences from Nashville and Liverpool-rock sounds, Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss and Terry Sylvester also feature on what promises to be a classic.
