With Paul McCartney
Lynne co-produced eight tracks on McCartney's 1997 Flaming Pie album. Upon its May 1997 release, the critical reaction to Flaming Pie was very strong, with McCartney achieving his best reviews since 1982's Tug of War. With fresh credibility even with young fans who had been introduced to him through the Anthology project, and anticipation raised with the excellent reviews, Flaming Pie debuted at #2 in the UK and US, giving McCartney his first US Top 10 album since Tug of War. In both countries, the album was the biggest entry in its initial week.
In 2000 Paul McCartney recorded a cover version of "Maybe Baby" for the 2000 film of the same name with Lynne in again in the producers seat.
