His solo debut, a set of pre-rock pop standards from his Liverpool childhood. Each track was arranged by a different name, from George Martin to Quincy Jones.
A country album cut quickly in Nashville with producer Pete Drake and local session players. Straight, unfussy honky-tonk.
His rock breakthrough, produced by Richard Perry, with all four Beatles contributing on separate tracks. It gave him the hits "Photograph" and "You're Sixteen".
A follow-up cut with Richard Perry and the same circle of famous friends. John Lennon wrote the title track and Elton John helped on another.
His first album away from Apple, produced by Arif Mardin, with songs donated by all three other ex-Beatles. Slick mid-seventies pop-rock.
A disco-leaning record made with Arif Mardin and a band of New York session players. It sold poorly but stands apart in his catalogue.
A light pop record heavy on covers, produced by Vini Poncia. It failed to chart in Britain and marked a commercial low point.
A patchwork of songs and production help from friends, among them George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Harry Nilsson. Harrison's "Wrack My Brain" gave it a modest hit.
Produced by Joe Walsh and turned down by labels in Britain and America, so it first appeared only in Germany and Canada. A guitar-driven rock set.
A well-received comeback with producers Jeff Lynne, Don Was and Phil Ramone. Bright, melodic pop-rock after a long studio silence.
Made with Mark Hudson and a crowd of guests from George Harrison to Tom Petty. It opened a run of albums built around Hudson's writing team.
A Christmas album of originals and standards, the only holiday record by any Beatle. Cheerful and unpretentious.
Another Mark Hudson production with guests like Eric Clapton and David Gilmour. It carries "Never Without You", a tribute to George Harrison.
The last album with Mark Hudson's team, mixing rock and power pop. Guests include Billy Preston and Chrissie Hynde.
The title song traces his life from Liverpool onward. Produced with Dave Stewart and, at the start, Mark Hudson.
His first self-produced album, with Paul McCartney singing on one track and Joe Walsh on guitar. Relaxed, home-studio rock.
His shortest album, under half an hour, mixing new songs with re-recordings of older ones. Light, upbeat and self-produced.
Recorded with members of his All-Starr Band, easygoing pop-rock. The title track strings together Beatles song titles.
A friendly, peace-and-love set with guests including Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh and Dave Stewart. Straightforward pop-rock.
Home-studio rock with the usual friends, closing on a cover of John Lennon's "Grow Old with Me" featuring Paul McCartney.
A full country album produced by T Bone Burnett, his first turn to the genre since "Beaucoups of Blues". Guests include Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle.
His third country and Americana album, again in that roots vein, with guests from Sheryl Crow to St. Vincent. A late-career return to the sound of his second record.
