Paul McCartney is set to lend a helping hend

Yusuf Islam has recruited his popstar friends Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton and Michelle Branch to help him out on his latest album.

The Muslim pop star, who was formerly known as Cat Stevens made a comeback to the music scene in 2006 after a colossal 28-years away from the business. However, the success of his return record, An Other Cup spurred him on to record a follow-up.

McCartney and Parton joined the singer/songwriter in the studio for the song Boots & Sand, while Branch has teamed up with him on the track To Be What You Must.

Boots & Sand is accompanied by a video, shot in the California desert by Bob Dylan's son Jesse.
