McCartney, according to all reports i have seen has two albums due out next year...
one which is a very rock sounding album,apparently all tracks were recorded in one or two takes with little production with his current touring band.
also a duets album, apparently this one is all of his own songs from his back catalogue including some beatle tracks...Paul Stanley of KISS and Bob Dylan have been named as artists who have been a part of the recording process
mind you, rumours of a duets album have been floating around for a couple of years now...so i guess we'll have to wait and see!
