It is an experimental album as you that the driving force behind RamSgt Pepper, and Wings Over America would expect.

McCartney at his instigation used on this album for the first time since the 1960s, showing his Hofner bass. McCartney seems somewhat stylistically seen returning to the period ' 64-' 66, thanks in part to theRickenbacker 12-string-guitar work by Robbie McIntosh of the Pretenders and by the production of Beatle-fan Mitchell Froom ( Crowded House, among others, Suzanne Vega). To promote Flowers In The Dirt went McCartney in 1989-90 for the first time since the break-up of Wings again on a world tour.'''
